It's becoming increasingly clear that our bodies were not built to spend hour after hour in a chair. Research shows that too much sitting is seriously detrimental to our health, and short bursts of exercise does not completely help with that.
Fortunately, there's a quick and easy solution to improve the situation a great deal! Just by taking regular breaks, you can undo much of the damage. Not only your back, shoulder, neck, arms and hands and eyes are helped by breaks, but also your general health.
By taking regular breaks, you can actually increase your productivity by becoming more focused and energized.
Break Reminder will help with this without getting in your way. Some of the features:
★ Automatic detection of breaks. If you take a break yourself, you will not be interrupted.
★ Optional fading out of the screen to make the break more effective.
★ Optionally set the iChat status to let your friends or colleagues know you're away.
