Healthy Dose of Trivia
To lower the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome, a painful
disorder of the wrist and hand, keep your wrists straight when
working with your hands. Flexing and twisting them stresses the
carpal tunnel. If you are working at a computer keyboard, make sure
your fingers are lower than your wrists; don't rest the heel of your
hands on the keyboard. And avoid working in the cold, which reduces
blood flow and can promote carpal tunnel syndrome.
