Salad-dodging IT sorts are being mollycoddled into ‘wellness’ by their own professional association, Automated IT can report.
The BCS (which now rather puzzlingly stands for ‘The Chartered Institute for IT’) has launched a microsite called Savvy Citizens which offers articles and video-based tutorials on reducing cholesterol, measuring body mass index and learning to love celery.
We think the timing is excellent, as many IT pros grapple to hold sway with their weight-loss related new year’s resolutions. And for good reason… a survey last November showed the IT profession to be among the unhealthiest in Britain, topping the nation’s inertia league, drinking way too much coffee and eating about as much fruit and veg as a shark.
If you have any 2010 resolutions then we’d love to hear them - email them along to us at automatedit@cohesive.uk.com
