Sit. Stand. Move. Repeat.
The average worker spends between three and eight hours a day at their desk, with many of us spending more time sitting down than sleeping. Research shows links between sedentary lifestyles and an increased risk of diabetes, obesity, heart disease and some kinds of cancer. Standing for short periods increases blood flow, burns extra calories, and increases our metabolism. Extended standing can lead to increased risk of back pain and fatigue, so it’s best to switch positions during the day.
Height adjustable furniture can reduce sitting times by up to 60%1, and by alternating between sitting and standing our bodies are healthier.
