How does a software Engineer avoid a lousy lifestyle and a bad diet?
As Software Engineer, I sit for about 12 hours a day, and sometime if we have a deadline, it will become worst, and sometimes I sit on a chair for about 16 hours a day.
Furthermore, my wife and I don’t have enough time to make lunch and dinner, so we order pizza or other fast food from restaurants. The predictable result is that I am getting fat, and even worse, I am getting Lower Back Pain, especially in my back’s L4-L5 and C3-C4 areas.
Nowadays, programming has become a popular job. Unfortunately, a lousy lifestyle has a bad effort on the body. In my opinion, programmer all day thinks about their codes and prediction about what bug will come. Not only do they not care about their body, but also they believe sitting for a long time is not harmful to them. In addition, programmers don’t have enough time to go to a gym or swimming pool, so their muscles become weak, and low back disease comes to their bodies.
Solution
I want to write some advice I learned over many years, and if somebody has another suggestion, please write in the comment part.
1. Smart Watch
All smartwatch, especially the Xiaomi band, has a health part that counts your step, and It is recommended to walk 8000 steps every day. Furthermore, If I sit for more than 30 minutes, It will send me a notification to change my position.
2. Use the subway instead of the car
I can use a subway instead of a car. Using the vehicle is more straightforward than using the subway, but if I use the subway, I walk through the street and subway, which is so good for my body.
3. SafeEye
This Application is so good; every 15 minutes, it instructs users to walk or drink water.
