Economy Class Syndrome: How Does It Affect Computer Users?

Computer users are seen to be in some danger of having the condition that a lot of frequent flyers and long distance travelers are seen to have.

An affliction that is a danger for persons who are required to sit immobile in cramped quarters for long periods of time is a threat to long distance travelers who travel economy class as well as people who work on the computer for long periods, immobile and cramped. The term that is applied to both these classes and people is the Economy Class Syndrome.

This potentially highly problematic condition is known as Deep Vein Thrombosis for Travelers, which ups the risk of the formation of blood clots among travelers and computer users, upping their chances of suffering a stroke from said blood clot traveling to the heart.

Some experts advise that onions and garlic as well as other anti coagulant foods be included in the diet so that one can reduce dangers of Economy class syndrome at least somewhat.

The economy class syndrome website is dedicated to helping people effectively avoid the dangers of long distance travel and resultant immobility.

The site features a free audio podcast of stretching exercises to be used during air travel, tips to increase and improve circulation but which can equally as easily be adapted to computer users.
