As a writer, you probably spend a lot of your time sitting down. This can have quite a detrimental effect on you lower back. So stomach exercises become quite important. The muscles of your stomach help support your lower back and promote good posture, which, in turn, can help you avoid repetitive injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Here are some other reasons why strong abs are important:

Strong abs give you a sports advantage
Having well shaped abdominal muscles is very important to the people who are in the field of sports. Abs help us in moving or sitting. We bend by the movement of these muscles. As a result it is important to have them fit and in good shape. The more toned these muscles are the better you can perform in sports. “I’m a writer not an athlete!” you say.

I don’t know about you, but writer’s block gives me the munchies. But that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Many people believe that eating snacks will destroy your diet, but research has found that snacks may actually help you stick to your diet.

Face it, as a writer you spend a lot of your time sitting on your duff. All that sitting can have an effect on your digestive system. One way to prevent the potential negative effects is to make sure you eat right and get plenty of fiber.

Fiber is mostly polysaccharides composed of glucose units, but human digestive enzymes cannot break the bonding of these units. We can think of fiber as non-starch polysaccharides. These include cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, and some other types of fiber. That might sound like Greek to you, but fiber is an important part of our daily diet, and a high fiber diet might be perfect for your body and digestive system health.
