IT workers voted the unhealthiest employees

	Quote: When it comes to diet, IT workers are also unhealthy, with only 14 percent eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day

That's probably better comparatively than the national average :lol:


	Quote: "There is clearly a correlation between sitting at a desk or wheel all day and how active you're likely to be," said Rich Leigh, founder of Fat Free Fitness.

Er, yeah, you reckon? :roll:

I can believe that. I put on loads of weight with my old job sat behind computers for twelve hours a day.

Re: IT workers voted the unhealthiest employees

I have to say I found I ate healthier while I worked in an office than when I didn't

Saying that I did a lot less excercise, like right now, swings and roundabouts I guess.

Re: IT workers voted the unhealthiest employees

I went from a job where I was up and about on my feet all day for about 15 hours, eating breakfast at home (cereal), breakfast at work (porridge, or maybe hash browns and eggs), mid morning snack (cake & biscuits), lunch (something like a steak or pasta), afternoon snack (sandwiches and cake), then a dinner at home, to sitting behind a desk.
Sitting behind a desk was, for my waist line, the worst move I've ever made. Went from a 34" waist up to a 38" (I'm now struggling to maintain a 36" waist).
