There's nothing inherently unhealthy about being a programmer. If you take care of yourself, you can still program a lot without adverse health effects: - Take regular breaks - Practice good ergonomics - Exercise regularly - Eat healthily - Avoid stress (meditate or find another way to relax) You can let any career push you into an unhealthy lifestyle. Programming doesn't sentence you to an unhealthy, overweight, aching shorter life. It's all about taking care of yourself. It's good practice to maintain your code. Treat your body like source code that you have to maintain for your entire life.
