Solution 2: Concrete or abstract?

Situation: Many people spend much of their working lives at a computer.

Problem: This causes some serious physical problems, such as eyestrain, backache and headaches. One of the worst and the hardest to get rid of is RSI (repetitive strain injury).

Solution: It is important to take regular rests from the computer for, say, ten minutes in every hour, to stand up, walk around and have a snack, for example.

Outcome: In this way serious problems such as RSI can be avoided.
