Yeah -- and if you live a more active, "healthy" life, you could get
eaten by a cougar or run over by a car or have a coronary, too.

As for me, I manage to pursue healthy activities about as often as I
could motivate myself to do so regardless of working with computers.
Working with computers, though, helps me with mental health in ways that
jogging or dirt farming can't.

To a nontrivial degree, happiness *is* health, and happiness should
generally be the point of health anyway.  Health, after all, is a means
to an end; it should not be the end in itself.
