Programmers: Yes to HEALTH!

Admit it or not, too much programming isn’t all that good for your health. All day you’re just sitting on one place and often with poor ergonomics which is definitely NOT GOOD. Bad posture, no exercise, not even a stretch, but it doesn't mean that as a programmer, you can't live a happy and a healthy lifestyle!

Here are a few, simple things that you can do:

Hydrate. Always drink water and pour some lemon for flavours. Especially for those weight conscious programmers, this could help you away from eating too much of pizza or drinking lots of unhealthy beverages coz water can naturally fill in your croaking tummy.

Eat. Remember to keep a balanced diet. It doesn't mean that you should eat less. Just remember to eat right. As they say, what you eat, is what you are. 

Sleep. Get the right amount of sleep. Your programming should NEVER take away precious time from sleep. 

Walk. As much as possible find time to exercise. But if you’re too busy or just not the gym person, you can consider walking in the morning going to your office. Because in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle a person should do 10 000 steps a day and this could be an alternative to the traditional work out. Also it’ll not give you too much muscle pain like some gym activities may give you. Enjoy a bit of the scenery while you're at it.

Just a simple reminder to all the programmers out there, NEVER ALLOW YOURSELF TO MAKE EXCUSES! Don’t wait for some kind of sickness to take away the joy of programming from you. Take a few small steps towards healthy life - so small that your laziness won't even notice them!
