A modern smartphone can affect your health in a number of ways.
Users may experience carpal tunnel syndrome, eye strain, or migraines.
To avoid unpleasant consequences, experts advise changing your habits when using your phone, writes The Washington Post .
Your hands
The smartphone should be held in your hands correctly.
According to Lauren Shapiro, associate professor of orthopedic surgery at the University of California, San Francisco, you need to maintain a neutral wrist position.
It is necessary that your wrist be straight or slightly bent when using the phone.
She also recommends taking breaks to avoid prolonged use of the device.
Shapiro also recommends using voice dictation or a phone call instead of text messages.
