A new survey for a British medical company has revealed the healthiest and unhealthiest professions to be in, and while chefs and farmers are the least healthy, it seems that IT workers are the seventh most healthy.

Does that surprise you?

Of course, “IT worker” isn’t particularly specific, and where there may be some highly paid techies who are eating salads, running to work and not boozing or smoking heavily, there are sure to be some others who are glued in front of their computer screen with only caffeinated drinks and fast food to keep them going.

And exercise?

We don’t even have the need to visit the mall now that we can just download our software.

So what do you think? Are IT workers only pipped on healthiness by ad reps, teachers, HR assistants, accountants, lawyers and secretaries?

And what about gamers?
