Great article. I have been trying to implement a lot of those points that you make.

If you really need to try and drink something other than water I would recommend Apple juice. It's really the only thing you can find that is 100% pure all the time. Even OJ isn't something especial if it's from MinuteMaid.

For taking breaks I would recommend a few applications a computer geek can download.

Mac OSX: TimeOut: http://www.dejal.com/timeout/, AntiRSI: http://tech.inhelsinki.nl/antirsi/

Linux: Workrave: sudo apt-get install workrave or http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/workrave/

Windows: Workrave works for windows as well, Bigstretch: http://www.monkeymatt.com/bigstretch/

Thanks very much.

That's a great idea, I'm going to edit the article and add those links!

No problem.

It's hard to be disciplined when your really into the code so having something to trigger you to take a break is very useful.
