It has recently: come to light that the lifestyle you describe is super-common and is just as likely to result in heart attacks as a high cholesterol. There are a number of "programs" which will help you stand up and walk about plus measure your general actvity. FITBIT (not a recommendation just an EXAMPLE, Apple Watch and other programs exist. Perhaps your workplace has a WELLNESS program? BE WELL DR Z

Yes: I would go the other way invest in an ergonomic computer stand where you can stand up. This has been repeatedly associated with improving posture and maintaining your core.

Not good: Too sedentary so will get belly fat and other areas of fat too. Laying flat after eating can encourage acid reflux. Should not do heavy exercise or swim right after eating either. Do more than computer and eat. Take up a physical exercise you like and can do regularly. Join Weight Watchers which works with you at meetings or online so to learn healthy eating
