Why Sitting May Be Bad for Your Brain
Sitting for hours without moving can slow the flow of blood to our brains, according to a cautionary new study of office workers, a finding that could have implications for long-term brain health. But getting up and strolling for just two minutes every half-hour seems to stave off this decline in brain blood flow and may even increase it.

I don’t know what to make of these small studies (only 15 participants), but exercise seems like a good idea in any case.
Timeboxing (like the pomodoro technique) might be a good way to remember to take breaks.
