This may sound like a silly topic, but when you think of it, it should be a point of concern for most of us. The lifestyle of the average webmaster consists of sitting behind a computer for at least 10 hours a day, while drinking loads of coffee, soft drinks and beer, and eating fast food and such. A good recipe for death by 50, really.

Now the advice health organizations give about working with computers simply doesn't work. A maximum of 6 hours a day behind a computer and a 15 minute break *away* from the computer every hour is almost impossible for many of us. But what are the alternatives?

What I do myself is try and take a long walk (20-30 minutes) every 3 hours or so. Also, I try to run a few miles several times a week, lift weights about 3 times a week and try to eat as many veggies and fruits as possible. For now, that seems to be working, but I can't help but worry what damage continuous working with computers will have done when I'm, say, 50.

Anyone else got thoughts on how to preserve your health while working as a webmaster?
