I used to be incredibly bad at taking breaks, even for lunch, but a mystery illness a couple of years ago gave me a bit of a shock and made me much more aware of the importance of taking holidays and breaks.  I still don't usually make it away from my desk at lunch time, but I do divert my phone to voicemail, switch off my screen so that I'm not distracted by incoming email, and make sure I've got some me-time for 20-30 mins every day.
