Traders' diseases and how to combat them.

Most people who want to become a trader associate this job solely as a source of good income, but few consider the health risks associated with trading.

It would seem that sitting at a computer for hours clicking a mouse is harmful—I already spend just as much time on social media—but unfortunately, there are numerous health risks associated with becoming a trader.

Therefore, it's important to be prepared for them and take all possible preventative measures to reduce their likelihood.

Let's start with the most common:

1. Eye diseases - sometimes spending hours monitoring currency pair charts significantly weakens vision and sometimes causes severe pain.

The recommendations are almost the same as for working at a computer - blink more frequently, occasionally look away from the monitor, take breaks every hour, and use eye drops to relieve tension.

2. Osteochondrosis (arthritis) - especially in the cervical spine - causes not only neck discomfort but also headaches.

Prevention - strengthen the neck muscles, eat a low-salt diet, and avoid hypothermia.

3. Psychological illnesses and stress - often occur after a deposit is lost or drawdown .

Avoid such situations, be prepared for losses, and have an insurance fund to help you recover. Insurance not only helps you get back into trading but also acts as a psychological defense.

4. Alcohol and drugs - often used by traders to relieve stress, the consequences of which are clear even to a schoolchild.

Instead of these two stimulants, find your own way to relieve stress. Some people find a sauna or swimming pool helpful, while others enjoy a shooting range or fishing.

5. Diseases associated with a sedentary lifestyle – a trader's work doesn't require physical activity, leading to problems with excess weight, cardiovascular disease, and other issues.

Exercise and daily walks can help alleviate this problem, as can automated trading .

As with trading, it's easier to prevent health problems than to deal with them later. The key is to find an approach that always combines useful and enjoyable activities. For example, I work out at the gym for an hour and a half every day, combining my workouts with watching TV series and other shows, which makes the training process less boring.
