There is additional benefit of breaks while doing computer work: it helps reduce strain on your eyes. Watching into computer screen for too long reduces your blinking rate and may cause eye problems in future.

A lot of people who work in programming (including myself) have dry eyes condition.

There are good apps for chrome which can help you with this and most of them allow you to customize breaks depending on your schedule.
