Video call meetings are bad for the heart and can also affect the brain; A shocking report been out.

Google Meet and Zoom are some of the most popular video-calling apps that are being used by millions of people such as office employees, and students since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. When the offices and schools are closed, they depend on these kinds of apps to lead their career. However these kinds of video calling apps are not good for ethnic health, some reports say. 

According to new reports, excessive use of video conferencing apps can harm the human brain and heart. This report was prepared as a result of a study conducted by a group of Austrian researchers last October. This report was released as a result of a study conducted on thirty-five students.

After some electrodes were attached to the head and chest of the students, the study was conducted by sitting down for 50 minutes of video conferencing. The research report said that changes in some nervous systems in the brain and heart of the students were noticed during these times. They also say that after some time after starting the video conferencing, most of the students started seeing symptoms of brain fatigue.

Another problem noted was the lack of attention. Many students were not able to devote continuous attention to video conferencing. Within a short time of the conferencing, many people began to express their discomfort. This study was mainly organized to understand brain activity during video calls. However, after noticing a change in heart rate during this time, the study also focused on heart health.

In short, students felt more fatigued and lethargic in face-to-face conversations than in video conferencing. The researchers say that more study is needed on whether the mental health of those who participate in such video conferences is safe. They suggest that people should choose other ways to communicate instead of video conferences.

Otherwise, people should take short breaks during video conferences, they say. They also demand that companies holding meetings through video calls take measures to protect the health of their employees. The researchers have also released some recommendations for those who use such video conferencing apps on a regular basis. Let's check what these are. As mentioned earlier, the first suggestion is to take regular breaks.

Taking short breaks when you feel lazy or tired is good for brain health. They suggest that you should rest your eyes for at least 20 seconds after every twenty minutes. They also say that you should do some activities that make your mind happy. Try to give your full attention to the screen only if important things are being said in the meeting.

Otherwise, they say, move your eyes in other directions as well. These researchers also say that those who engage in excessive video conferencing should also try to understand its negative aspects. At the same time, they have not released more information about the study. They have decided to release it after conducting further studies. Currently, more studies are going on.
