The benefits of standing at the desk for the body and our health
To function properly, the human body needs to move, because it's not designed to sit for hours! Combining sitting and standing work is ideal.
Indeed, several studies demonstrate the long-term health risks of sitting for extended periods. Prolonged sitting can lead to circulation problems and poor metabolism. It also increases the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart problems, and even certain forms of cancer, including colorectal cancer.
Standing is better for your spine than sitting. Constant movement naturally forces you to find the right balance. Therefore, you need to exercise judgment and avoid standing at all costs. You can sit down to give your legs and feet a rest when needed. In the concept of a sit-stand desk, the general idea is to alternate, favoring the standing position.
And what about the psychological effects? Working while standing increases your attention. You're less likely to fall asleep when you have to stand. Your muscles stay engaged, and your body relaxes less. This keeps you more alert and focused. In addition, a standing desk lends itself to more physical activity. Did you know that you can burn up to 200 calories a day just by standing and moving around?
