From Awareness to Action: Building Healthy Habits in an IT Lifestyle

Long hours at a desk, back-to-back meetings, and remote work have made inactivity a normal part of many IT jobs. Over time, this lifestyle can quietly affect energy levels, weight, and blood sugar—often without obvious warning signs. This session focuses on what you can do about it.

Rather than promoting extreme fitness goals or strict diets, we look at realistic, sustainable habits that fit into a demanding workday. You’ll learn simple ways to increase daily movement, stabilize blood sugar through better nutrition choices, and recognize early signals your body sends when something is off.

We’ll explore how small changes—short activity breaks, smarter routines, and basic health tracking—can add up to meaningful long-term impact. You’ll also see how to use practical tools like step counts or activity rings to stay motivated without turning health into another stressful KPI.

This session is about taking control of your health in a way that works with your career, not against it—helping you stay energized, focused, and well over the long run.
