Researchers Show The Future Side Effects For Those Working From Home

The rise of remote work has undoubtedly been a game-changer for many people, offering flexibility and convenience like never before. However, a shocking 3D model called Anna has revealed the potential damage that this work arrangement could do to our bodies. Developed by office furniture company Furniture@Work, Anna showcases the physical toll that consistent use of technology and poor posture can take on remote workers. With a hunched back, bleary red eyes, and claw-like hands, Anna depicts a future where remote workers in 2100 may suffer from poor posture, eye strain, and even text claw from excessive typing.
Researchers warn that if remote work continues without proper precautions, it could lead to the devolution in humans. Poor posture is a common issue among remote workers due to the lack of ergonomic setups and prolonged sitting. This can result in back pain, neck pain, and even spinal misalignment. Eye strain is another concern, as staring at screens for long periods can cause dryness, redness, and blurred vision. The 20-20-20 rule, which suggests looking at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes, is recommended to alleviate eye strain.
In addition to physical ailments, remote work can also contribute to weight gain. The convenience of working from home often means easy access to snacks and a sedentary lifestyle. Without the need to commute or move around an office space, physical activity levels may decrease significantly. Combined with the potential for unhealthy eating habits, this can lead to weight gain and other related health issues.

I have absolutely gained weight. WFH has not been good for us as a society.

That’s all on you for gaining weight. You have breaks in the day to walk, do push-ups, pull-ups, treadmill, bike, etc. Throw in there having a kitchen to make a healthy lunch as well.

I’m the reverse, but…..
I started out like that. I would get out of bed at 7:50 to login at 8 and literally be in PJs.
Now I get up before 7. Shower. Dress for the day and make it a point to feel good and be productive.
I’m down to my lightest weight in nearly a decade and it’s because I eat 100000 times better being at home compared to eating lunch at work.
But yes it can 100% be a negative if you aren’t careful

Now hold on hold on guys.
There may be something to this.
Think back to the old days when women were just house wives. They were the OG WFH group. And when I was a kid all of our moms were housewives, and they all kinda looked like this.
Still holding the baby weight, hair a mess because they didn't give a shite, no makeup, smoking a Pall Mall, early wrinkles and saggy titties.

To me this is a classic case of curing a symptom and not the disease.
Last summer I was able to work from home 3 days a week and I lost 20lbs. because I was able have more time to exercise, spend my with family, etc. In December, when my workload doubled and they took us down to 2 days a week at home (in many weeks I get 1 day), my time for the gym lessened so I stopped going. My stress levels went up and thus so did my weight.
The real issue in many corporate entities is that they overwork, under pay their employees.
My boss still has times where I'm told to "keep people busy" versus letting them do their job as efficiently and effectively as possible. If they finish in 6 hours, who cares? The job got done.

You don't have to sit in bed and eat all day while you work, you can sit in an office, get a standing desk, exercise in between calls, etc. You could say blue collar work is different but it's impossible to do blue collar work from home anyway.

To mitigate the potential damage caused by remote work, it’s crucial for individuals and companies to prioritize ergonomics and well-being. Investing in ergonomic furniture, such as adjustable desks and supportive chairs, can help improve posture and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal issues.

I was able to get in the best shape of my adult life when I WFH for 9 months during COVID

How can anyone take this remotely serious based on the source?

This is stupid - I got in immaculate shape after working from home
It’s called going to the gym, not eating stupid, walking, and working out
