Positionner ses outils de travail à hauteur adéquate pour stimuler l'éveil et l'attention.

what it claims

Position your screens and work tools at or slightly above eye level to direct your gaze upward, which is said to send a signal of alertness to the brain and stimulate attention.

This idea is based on a real biological link between gaze orientation and nervous system activity.

This idea is based on a real biological link between gaze orientation and nervous system activity. For example, a study conducted by the University of Chicago and published in the journal *Neuron* in 2024 (basic research/animal model) confirms that activation of the locus coeruleus, the arousal center in the brain, directly improves visual attention. Furthermore, it is anatomically established that the circuits controlling eye direction and those regulating alertness are interconnected in the brainstem. However, applying this specific mechanism to office ergonomics constitutes an extrapolation. To date, there are no clinical studies (RCTs) or meta-analyses in humans demonstrating that simply raising one's screen by a few centimeters measurably increases cognitive performance or attention in daily life. The described effect remains an appealing and low-cost hypothesis to test, but its concrete impact still lacks rigorous empirical validation.

Other advice in the Register that leans on the same research.

To support heart, brain, and immune system health, it is recommended to use a high-quality omega-3 supplement (with transparent purity testing) to compensate for insufficient intake in the modern diet.

Get your vitamin D and triglyceride levels tested at the onset of menopause, as the drop in estrogen naturally increases cardiovascular risk. To address this, it is recommended to supplement with vitamin D, vitamin K2 (to guide calcium toward the bones rather than the arteries), and 2g of EPA-rich omega-3s to limit inflammation and regulate blood lipids.

holds upMary Claire Haver, MD

Omega-3s (especially in EPA/DHA forms) are essential fats often lacking in our modern diet. Supplementing allows, in a scientifically proven manner but without miracles, for the reduction of inflammatory stress, the acceleration of physical recovery, the support of cardiac vitality, and the stabilization of mood.
