Personally though, the issue of health is very important to every living person, not just to Bitcoiners, but then again, i understand why the need to sound this warning to this community, and that is for the fact that many of us who have been in this space for several years now have become so embedded in it, and most of us have taken it up as a profession, which means, we no longer do anything aside wake up in the morning, say morning prayers(this is for those who know God and go to church), then brush teeth(if you remember to brush self), then turn your laptop or pc on, or pick up your mobile phone, turn on your data connection, and na work you don enter so oh,, after several hours online, we are finally done for that session, we drop the phone or turn of the pc, now its time to look for what to eat, after eating, you feel like to take your bath, and after taking bath, you feel like taking a nab, and when we are up from the nap, we turn on the pc and we don enter work again > second round..
The above is the life of a typical trader, its very good to find time to exercise, and also go out from time to time, sun is very important for our healthy living, as well as fresh air, donot lock yourself inside your room all day, its not good.
Here has been the experience. The issue of exercise is very important too because mostly sitting for along time has its own side effect on the body. I was with a friend yesterday who is a trader right in his house we were having a conversation and suddenly he started to adjust himself on his sit and it happened that he started to feel pains for sometimes at the waist region and back as well and it became that very severe that moment that we had to go to the hospital for checkup. It is very important one takes good care of themselves so as to avoid any unforeseen breakdown in their health.
You are very correct , as unfortunate as this may sound , I will also have to confess that for several weeks now, or should I even say months, I've not really gone out of my room, my wife is the one managing our business , she goes to shop with the children(in this holiday period), while all I do is just sit at home working (trading )with my laptop.
And due to the constant sitting, leaning forward while typing on my laptop , Ive been feeling a very serious and severe pain in the back of my neck/shoulder area for like several weeks now , I've spent some money on body pain drugs but the drugs seems not to work , and I can also confess that I've not had time to exercise at all for several months now..
So right now, I am going to try to come up with routine exercise plan, that will help eliminate the pain, and make sure I stay as heathy and pain free as possible, even while spending more time at home ..
This is just to confirm that indeed , some kind of pain or health issues we fave or experience sometimes, is as a result of lack of exercise, it's important to exercise, just the same way it is important to drink water , eat good food , visit the hospital for routine check ups and so on .
