Trading does not have to be bad for your health

There was an excellent article written over at the TechRepublic highlighting 10 IT health risks and offers some advice on how to combat them. The ten key issues that were highlighted include:

1. A slug’s life.
2. SIT happens
3. So many headaches
4. The bobblehead syndrome
5. Hurting Hands
6. Relax Harder!
7. Noxious invaders
8. Eye Strain
9. Heavy lifting
10. Something in the air

This is defiantly food for thought as a lot of traders spend countless hours in front of their computers and Bloomberg terminals. I have assembled some useful links on various health topics that might be of interest to traders. Remember your health is the most important thing and all of us should take steps to ensure we maintain a healthy balanced lifestyle.
