Debug Health
This is a small book of health guide for for people who need to work long hours behind a desk, aiming to help everyone understand the dangers of sitting for long periods at a desk and, based on existing scientific literature and years of personal experience, provide some practical suggestions to improve the working environment, adjust working and living habits, so as to maintain a healthy working and living state.
The desk workers we’re talking about here include, but are not limited to, programmers, designers, writers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, accountants, and millions of others who spend their days hunched over desks in office cubicles, working long hours in pursuit of their livelihood and dreams.
As for myself, I’m neither a nutritionist, nor a doctor, fitness trainer, or rehabilitation specialist—far from being an expert in any field. I’m a software engineer and indie hacker—just an ordinary desk worker. Therefore, this can only be considered a “small guide” to health, far from being an authoritative manual. The experiences and insights shared here represent only my personal views and are for reference only—but I believe they’re quite valuable. “Don’t just take my word for it, see the results”—as shown in the photo below. :-)
In the world of software engineering, when our code has problems, we have various debugging methods, but when our health has issues, many people often feel helpless and let the situation deteriorate. I hope this small guide serves as a debugging manual - not for code, but for your health. Here, you’ll learn about:
- How to create an ergonomic work environment
- How to find time for appropriate exercise in your busy schedule
- How to maintain a healthy weight and abundant energy through proper diet
- How to achieve high-quality rest and relaxation
