Unity demands me a lot of computer work. Lots of reading, lots of knowledge, lots of communications…
Past 3 months I work 8~12 hours a day. In front of computer.
I am tired and sick about my shoulder, neck, wrist, especially eye and face muscle.
I feel not really serious but sure have pain.
How you take care about your health about these problems?
Suggestions?
Yes this problem needs some self discipline.
I would suggest:
Walk away from your computer every hour to do some staring into the garden or to enjoy nature in an other way,
go outside biking. Do yoga exercises every day.
Good luck, Robert
Sleep 9 hours a night.
Make sure you are eating/exercising.
Take 15 minute break every hour or 2.
Make sure you’re hydrated.
The best way I’ve found to deal with this aspect of daily life is to provide much greater stress on a regular basis. That is, do heavy weightlifting exercises, and other high intensity training (such as sprinting). Your body will adapt to be able to deal with things that are extremely physically demanding, and everything else becomes easier.
Shoulders are involved in all upper-body exercises, so they’re easy to make stronger.
The neck is challenging. The problem is, you can rotate it in three dimensions, and I haven’t found exercising with a neck harness to be effective even in one, due to how unwieldy it is. I’ve resorted to isometric exercise alone for my neck, but that actually really helps. Frequently, while driving or at the computer, my neck will get sore. At these times, I just press really hard against my head, and resist that motion using my neck, in all six ways that the head can rotate.
Wrists/hands are easy to make healthier. I use Captains of Crush grippers and Expand-Your-Hands bands, and do wrist curls and reverse wrist curls.
For eye and face muscles, I have no idea what you mean. I can say that my eyes twitch too much when I have too much coffee, so I switched almost completely to decaf, and that’s helped out a lot. What problems are you having exactly?
Also, a healthy diet is important. You need protein to build the muscles up, and you need to lose fat, if you are partially having problems due to the fact that your head and arms weigh too much. Good posture is also important, when you’re sitting in a chair that long, and it’s a lot harder to have it when you have excess rolls in the way. I’ve been skinny, fat, and in decent shape, so I speak from firsthand experience on this.
Just tried that and something cracked… more than once.
Does the job well enough, though.
Make time for it and get exercise. I have put on 30 pounds myself since I have been stuck in front of pc’s for the past year with all my college work. I did not make time for myself yet to exercise. Also, eat healthy. Sure its nice to eat half a bag of chips during a coding binge, but your body will hate you for it. Also, try and drink more water than soda and other non-fruit/juice drinks. This thread is good, I’m glad people are concerned with their health. Perhaps this reminder will help me remember to practice what I know to be good for me :lol:.
Hmm when coding, you don’t eat this much because you’re concentrating on this coding thing, can be kind of a zombie mood.
Anyway one hand of wisdom:
Finger 1: Whilst liquids like juices, milk, beer, mojito, absinth, gin, red wine, … are all nice, what you drink by far the most is water without Blubber, also in tea form and then also without sugar for the better taste.
Finger 2: Eat when you’re hungry and then eat what you want. On a larger timeframe try to get a decent balance of healthy food and food which is more meant for the happy state of your mind, like for instance liquorice, chocolate or chips.
Finger 3: Don’t be static, make breaks, change your working position several times a day and listen to your body before it’s too late.
Finger 4: Move and make different kind of sports you enjoy. Doing only one sport will get boring and artificial exercises are annoying. Sometimes the moving aspect is hidden behind the motivation of the gaming aspect of a sport.
Finger 5: Use the little possibilities a day offers for moving as well. Is it cold? Then run around until it’s warm. Need to get to the fifth floor? Use the stairs instead of the lift. Your destination is only two train stations afar? Walk/run/cycle them. You need more motivation? Insult those bad looking guys in front of you.
A couple people have mentioned chips. They’re actually not necessarily bad. Just make sure you get ones that use canola oil. Canola has an excellent mix of omega-3 and omega-6, whereas most cheap chips use what’s called “vegetable oil” here in the States, which actually means “soybean oil”. While I eat a do ton of soy, soy is omega-6 heavy, which will cause health problems if you don’t balance it out with a lot of say, flax meal (which I also consume a ton of).
Chocolate can also be good. Cocoa butter (a large component of good chocolate) and coconut oil are predominantly saturated fat, which can boost your testosterone levels. And that can make your muscles operate better.
All thanks for kind suggestions.
Some knew, some didn’t knew.
Anyway, helpful.
Of course, this thread is not over now. Opened.
But here there are none of that chips made by canola oil. And not yet food company here which make so healthful snack.
Maybe I must shop by internet and deliver internationally those snack if I want. Though even don’t know where I can.
I’ve found that I have much better luck finding canola oil in tortilla chips, which is fine by me, as I love them, and never cared for potato chips (despite the fact that I love french fries). Again, the cheaper ones tend to use soybean oil. (Which doesn’t make any sense, as canola oil and soybean oil cost exactly the same.) Do you have this one available where you live? (It comes in white, yellow, and a mix of both, here.)
Helpful advices here, as I also feel concerned … I’m litteraly forced to eat less than 2000 calories per day if I don’t want to gain weight (194 lbs, 6"1.2’ / 88 kgs, 186 cm).
Unless I’m making two running sessions of 2 Hours straight per week, but in winter it’s kind of hard.
It’s a pain to have a sedentary job …
Oh snyder’s…
Didn’t know.
I live in S.Korea.
Oh if you live in S. Korea, you could totally rely on Taekwondo practicing 
I used to practice 6 hours a week for 3 years while being as sedentary as now for my job, and I had no weight unstability problem at all ^^
Why is it that everyone who sits on PC all day gains this much and that much weight and I don’t lol.
I spend like 10-15h on PC everyday, eat, don’t exercise and don’t gain any weight grrr 
Yes.
But in here Taekwondo are loved by kids a lot than we adult.
We prefer health club or yoga center, or golf if rich.
Actually I prefer health club. But sometimes I feel bored.
Me too, my weight is 57kg. Height is 170 cm.
Skinny type.
Maybe it because of many thinking and annoying from everything.
Or hard studying.
Don’t believe that running more is the best idea. For we who don’t have time to run for long periods of time and lift weights, what’s known as “High Intensity Interval Training” seems to be much more effective from the evidence I’ve encountered. Unlike long-term aerobic exercise, HIIT keeps your metabolic rate up after you exercise, instead of only during. Personally, I get bored from exercising at a moderate pace, and I’ve found HIIT to be very effective for my own fat loss (even though I didn’t know that’s what it was called when I started - I just sprinted until I could no longer, then caught my breath, and repeated that until I was ready to fall over), so I recommend it.
In response, I haven’t done Taekwondo since I was 10 years old, but I remember the training sessions, and highly recommend it. Lots of stretching and intense exercise. Also, hitting things, and getting hit yourself, is great, to increase bone density (I actually punch and kick old wooden furniture to achieve this). Very good stuff.
Because of different metabolisms
My girlfriend doesn’t have a milimeter of fat on her skin, and whatever she will eat she won’t gain any weight. The doctor even told she had to eat 5000 calories per day to gain weight … and she’s 151 cm high. Depressing for me 
That’s why I love TKD, because I feel quickly bored in health clubs. It’s kind of strange that adults don’t like TKD more than kids, as real complex fighting TKD tactics can’t be really understood when you are young (like baiting, clever stance switching, huge battle shouting and stuff).
Thanks for the advice, I used to sprint while running at certain times, but stopped it. Now that I think of it, I was losing more weight during those times. I’ll try that.
You’re 170cm, I’m 7ft (about 213cm) and 62kg… 
WOW you are really tall.
You must be basketball player or volleyball.
