Ask HN: Need tips from Software Developers on maintaining health
6 by srbhr | 9 comments on Hacker News.
Hello World, I'm struggling a bit with my health. As a software developer all day long, I keep staring on my laptop. Sitting and I'm so used to this that even on Saturdays, I've (out of habit) open up the laptop and try something out. This is impacting my health. - I've gained weight. - I've got nothing else to do. - I have tried gym but extensive work hours keep messing with my rhythm. The internet advice is from people who aren't in the same situation as I am. They say wake up at certain time, eat X Y Z meals. N % protien, G gms of Sodium etc. But I on the other hand need to run builds, do deployments, and fix if anything is broken. I get mentally exhausted by the end of day. How are you able to deal with this? Need help please.
