Gud day doc. i want to know if what is the advisable maximum time for me to be in front of a computer.

Depends: For most, 2 hrs is the upper limit of prolonged screen time. It is always important to vary up your routine and rest the eyes that stare at the monitor. Entertainment media is plentiful: phones, computers, videos, etc. Use your common sense. Keep healthy and active with outdoor activities.
