How Your Occupation is Shaping Your Health (For Better or Worse)

We spend a huge chunk of our lives at work. For many of us in technology, that means hours glued to a chair, plugged into a docking station, eyes locked on a screen. After decades in the "Chair Force," I learned that staying physically active in cyber is a challenge.

The workplace environment influences our health in more ways than we realize. Is your breakroom stocked with sugary treats? Do you have coworkers who encourage movement, or is it all back-to-back meetings and deadlines? Stress, long hours, bad posture, and lack of sunlight—it all adds up over time.
