Using libnotify for reminders
Depends... Is your goal to write an entire application to do this for you? You can use notify-send which is already linked with libnotify to do that, or look at a pre-existing application like https://github.com/hovancik/stretchly that might be more like what you're wanting to do...

Buy a good monitor if you care about your eyes!
stretchly is a free open-source cross-platform app that automatically forces you to take breaks, get a glass of water, stand up, look into the distance, move your head, etc. I use it every day and it’s awesome.

How do you guys take care of your eyes
Install Safe Eyes or some similar app. And keep the breaks as strict. So for each interval you have kept, it will forcefully turn off your display for sometime.

Advice for sitting?
For me, a sturdy chair is best, without a lumbar support cushion thing. Apart from that, varying your position is important. I use an application called Safe Eyes (https://github.com/slgobinath/SafeEyes) which reminds me to take short breaks (30 secs of standing/stretching) every half an hour or so. This helps me a lot.

How to take care of your Health as a Developer
Take breaks every 20-30 mins. You can use any app to remind you of breaks. I personally used Strechly when I was on Windows, it is a great app for this purpose. On Linux, I use Safe Eyes, same concept, just some UI changes, and more features.
