Welcome to the thoughts that wash up on the sandy beaches on my mind. Paddling is encouraged.. but watch out for the sharks.

It's like when my dental hygienist recommended that I stop drinking Coke/Pepsi. I told her that I'd been drinking it for almost 60 years, so I wasn't going to stop now....
My doctor once told me sitting in the office all day long wasn't good for my back. I replied that my hairdresser always got the complaint from her doctor that she was standing too much. And my husband wouldn't be pleased if I pursued a "lying business" (I don't know wether that's an expression in English but we call it that in German.) So, there was nothing I could do. ;)
The Health & Safety person @ work *really* didn't like my office chair (we used to get cast-offs or designs we tried out but decided not to go with) but said that I was sitting in it so rarely and moving about in it so much when I was at my desk that it probably didn't cause me *too* much trouble.
It's true though. Doctor's advice is often contradictory. Essentially they suggest that you should stop doing what you're doing - *whatever* that is! Oh, and drink more water... that too! [lol]
True, even if you drink like a hundred litres a day, it's never enough. When I started working, I was sitting on a kitchen chair and had to type on a mechanical typewriter, of course.
