BPO and Call Center Agents Health Hazards

Long hours of work, permanent night shifts, incredibly high work targets, and loss of identity are the dark clouds that threaten the BPO and Call Center industry in the Philippines.

The odd timings and nature of work roots people to a chair 9 hour a day, reading pre-scripted conversations on the phone endlessly - often to irate customers from across the globe. Where every single second of an employee's time is recorded, measured and automatically logged onto a computer for praise or censure on a weekly basis. Where walking down to the water cooler for a drink and a chat with a friend messes up performance metrics, salaries, and hikes. Where the three acts of listening, watching and talking - all at the same time - never get a break. This performance monitoring also puts enormous stress on the employees.

Employees working in the call center had complained of eye problems. Soreness, dryness, blurred vision, light sensitivity, headache, all these put together is labeled as the computer vision syndrome. This problem is more acute with the team leaders who need to come in early and go back late. Digestive disorders are common among employees in the BPO and call center.

It was also pointed out that the employees are facing the possibility of losing their voice. The problem known earlier as the teacher syndrome is now being found in the young workers of BPO and call centers. Some of them may face the acute manifestation of this in the form of permanent loss of voice. In the chronic form it is characterized by inability to speak (Dysphonia), pain, croakiness of voice, irritating cough, poor vocal power, inability to modulate and breathing difficulties.

The BOSS syndrome is seen very commonly among young people working in BPO and call centers. The symptoms of this syndrome include chronic fatigue, insomnia and complete alteration of 24-hour biological rhythm of the body are routine cause for sickness absenteeism. Chronic levels of stress affect the heart, endocrine system and also lead to sleep disorders.

 

Importance of CMD to BPO and Call Center Agents

CMD minerals which are ionic, natural, balance, concentrated and pure are necessary in many chemical processes in the body. Potassium deficiency for instance, results in muscle cramps, fatigue and cardiovascular disease. Calcium deficiency leads to arthritis, osteoporosis and high cholesterol. Iron deficiency leads to hair loss, goiter and anemia. Magnesium is the protection of the kidney, prevents migraine and is badly needed by the heart.

BPO and Call Center agents are usually exposed to unhealthy food, smoking habits, harsh environment and mental stress. CMD provides BPO and Call Center Agents the much-needed mineral balance to maintain their body's functions at optimum level.

Diabetes Breakthrough: THE MINERAL SOLUTION!

The trace minerals chromium and vanadium have been shown to help the body metabolize glucose and regulate blood sugar levels. Also it is well documented that both the trace minerals chromium and vanadium have dynamic and positive effects on normalizing blood sugar for both hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and diabetes (high blood sugar).

Diabetics also often have inadequate levels of calcium, magnesium and zinc. These nutrients play a vital role in supporting health in those with blood sugar abnormalities.

A lack of calcium and magnesium may increase the odds of people forming diabetes. Researchers at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee found a consistent relationship between the levels of these minerals and the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Thus, intake of calcium and magnesium may help to protect against the development of Type 2 diabetes.

A study published in the journal Diabetes Care examined the role of the mineral zinc in the incidence of heart disease. Researchers discovered that patients with lower levels of serum (blood) zinc had a higher risk of dying from heart disease. Those with higher zinc levels had a lower risk factor to suffer from a heart attack.

Every diabetic should be taking CMD on a daily basis. CMD is a unique and powerful mineral supplement, particularly rich in trace minerals needed for optimum health and nutrition. CMD is very effective in helping to lower blood sugar and insulin levels, reduce cholesterol levels, reduce triglyceride levels, reduce blood pressure, improve energy, and reduce the risk of heart disease. CMD supplementation can also protect your tissues (eyes, kidneys, blood vessels) from the damage diabetes often causes. They can also support your immune system, protect your heart, and improve circulation.

If you have diabetes, mineral supplementation is more than important, it is vital!

CMD Dosage for Diabetics:
DRINK 15 DROPS OF CMD IN A GLASS OF WATER 2X A DAY

THE BETTER MINERAL SUPPLEMENT: COLLOIDAL OR IONIC?

Minerals are the electrolytes in our body that balances it out and gives us a healthy mind and body, making our bones and tendon strong enough to support our weight, giving our brain the ability to function as it should.

In the body, the electrolytes play an essential role in the workings of the cells and in maintaining fluid balance and a normal acid-base balance. Simply, something you need in the right amounts to be healthy in both mind and body, without BALANCE things don't work properly!

Symptoms occur when the electrolytes are imbalanced

If a body has inefficient amounts of Electrolytes in the system, all kinds of things happen to you. Vitamins and nutrients cannot be absorbed into your system without the correct amounts of electrolytes. When this occurs small things happen such as sluggish drained feeling, slight depression, headaches, dry mouth, ever so slight dizziness, dry skin, and dry hair.

All of which are taxing your body and destroying different systems and organs. Over time when mineral imbalance is prolonged more exaggerated tiredness (chronic fatigue syndrome), headaches (migraine, tension), dry skin, dry hair, brittle nails, depression, manic episodes, paranoia, and even obesity.

The drug companies have come up with all kinds of little pills to counteract these symptoms when all that is usually needed is constant daily mineral balance. As Charles Northen, M.D. & Bernard Spur, M.D. authors of " Know Your Nutrition noted:

"It is not commonly known that in the absence of minerals, vitamins have no function. Lacking vitamins, our system can make use of the minerals, but lacking minerals, the vitamin is useless." The human body can manufacture some vitamins, (B in the intestinal tract, D from sunshine) but the body cannot manufacture its own minerals - they must be supplied by food and water. When in adequate amounts, they make a strong healthy mind and body. When they are lacking, disease sets in… "

What minerals to take?

Ionic or colloidal mineral supplements!

Even though colloidal minerals are easily absorbed into the body they have a very low bio-availability. In fact, colloidal minerals can be toxic:

"Many colloidal mineral supplement products contain high concentrations of some minerals, but no independent analysis can be found of any colloidal product out there that contains significant levels of more than a dozen or so minerals." States Alexander G. Schauss, Ph.D. Director of Life Sciences Division, American Institute for Biosocial Research, Inc., Tacoma WA.

Ionic minerals are totally bio-available. Results are immediate. In other words, from the first drink of ionic water, the calcium, magnesium, and other valuable nutrients go to work. You don't have to wait longer to see the value of ionic minerals in your life. You don't have to take it for months to experience a shift in your body chemistry--it's immediate!
