What's Good For Your Health?
July 02, 2022
If you cut the time you spend sitting behind your desk daily, you may extend your life up to three years. However, even with these grim facts how many people are really willing to stand up and do something about it?
Ideally office workers should be getting up and taking movement breaks throughout the day. It's not always easy to just walk away from the task at hand though, so in some cases workers are combining the best of both worlds by installing standing desks.
Standing desks are desks which allow a person to stand up comfortably while working on his or her computer. Lots of versions are adjustable so you can easily change the height of the desk and alternate between standing and sitting. In all cases, the end goal is the same: reduce the amount of time spent sitting during the work day. From companies to classrooms to home offices, height adjustable desks are starting to pop up everywhere.
The health and work benefits of using a height adjustable desk are many :
Improved energy, focus, productivity, collaboration, and creativity
Boost in productivity
Lessening of fatigue, confusion, and tension
Reduced risk of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and depression
Reduction in musculoskeletal pain
Increased calorie burn while standing
Alternating between sitting and standing positions is critical for us to keep our bodies healthy and prevent illness. Regular movement adjusts the amount of load being put on the body, increases specific body part rest intervals, and thus reduces the adverse effect of risk factors.
The twenty-first century lifestyle is more inactive than ever before. Overweight, obesity and diabetes are more prevalent. A healthy diet and regular exercise are still the best ways to lose weight and prevent diabetes. A height adjustable desk can help, especially if you are not used to too much exercise, as it encourages you to be active throughout the day and movement is a good way to stay fit and healthy during desk work.
