Let's face it. As developers, It's easy to let things get a bit out of hand health-wise. Many times we find ourselves in front of screens for hours on end. We sleep really late (or not at all) sometimes. Unless you're disciplined enough to follow a schedule, you might find yourself not having time to eat proper meals so snacking becomes a habit. These are all sacrifices usually made to fix a bug or find the most efficient solution to a problem. Usually our health has to bear the brunt of this.
We think, If healthier practices were adopted, developers would be much more productive and would be able to accomplish some tasks in less time simply because the brain is much clearer.
