Things we forget

You work all day long... there is so much to do... minutes pass, hours go by, and you... forget! You forget to take care of your most precious tool: Your body. You forget to give it short breaks for recovery, and you forget to supply the water it needs in order to maintain normal metabolism.
The short-term results
As time passes, there is a decrease in your productivity and in your ability to concentrate; very often you suffer from fatigue, headaches and eyestrain. At the end of the day you have less energy for other aspects of your life and for the people around you. Those seemingly minor issues have a dramatic impact on your life
 
The long-term results
Neglecting your body's basic needs might accumulate and create various health problems, such as damage to eyes, kidneys and other organs. Studies show that taking breaks and moving your body can reduce the risk of thrombosis. Drinking water on a regular basis can also help your diet.

 
It's simple:
you don't operate BodyGuard...
It "operates" you!

BodyGuard "senses" you. It is smart and has mechanisms which can tell when you are using your computer and when you are not. It will remind you to take short breaks throughout the day and to exercise, and will instruct you when to drink water in order to maintain your fluid balance.

    Additional Information
    
On this page you can see some of the pop-up reminders displayed by BodyGuard. To further help you, each reminder is accompanied by a specific sound.




You can always find out when the next break or drink are due, by opening BodyGuard or by positioning the mouse pointer over the BodyGuard icon at the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

Body care information
Clicking BodyGuard's icon at the bottom right hand corner of the screen will show or hide BodyGuard's main window. The main window provides additional information, such as: the beginning of the work session, accumulated break time, and information of recommended and actual water consumption.

The minimum amount of water you should have been drinking since you started working appears both textually and graphically (as a row of glasses). Each glass has a label above it, indicating when it was recommended for you to drink it. Checking the check box below each glass will help you keep track of your water consumption during the day – regarding amounts and time intervals.  Positioning the mouse pointer over each glass will show you when this glass was marked as consumed.
 
 

Settings tab:

The Settings tab allows you to adjust BodyGuard to your personal preferences. You can set the time between breaks (or "work time"), the break's length, and how often BodyGuard should nag if you do not have enough break time.

You can also select the reminders you would or wouldn't like to have. For example, if you prefer not to have the "End of break" reminder – just un-check it. You can also decide if a reminder should be accompanied by sound or not – by checking or un-checking its sound checkbox.

An important setting is the Environment temperature and humidity, as this will affect the time intervals of the drinking reminders. Therefore, make sure to adjust the temperature setting according to your best judgment.
For example: if you are in an air-conditioned room and the temperature is normal room-temperature, you should check the "Normal" radio button.  It might be wise to check the "Dry air" check box as well, since air-conditioning systems tend to suck the air moisture.
If needed, change the settings again to meet your personal preferences.
