The #1 Most Important Reasons to use a
Standing Desk
When it comes to using standing desks, it offers numerous benefits, both for
your health and your ergonomic working postures. Historically we have
become slaves to our office chairs and computers. Ever so slowly slouching
and hunching over our keyboards as time goes by. But simply standing up,
really is the ultimate solution to many of our common work ailments and is
fast becoming the hottest work trend this century. It’s called the Stand up
Revolution and you only have to take a quick scroll through the hundreds
of posts with the hash tag #standingdesk to know that more and more
people are jumping on this phenomenon. But is it all just a fad, something
that will be remember in 10 years time similar to sham wow’s or the ab
swing pro? Or are we on to something very powerful and beneficial to our
working behaviors?
When you sit for long periods of time, your body starts to change. We
experience some significant changes in important physiological
processes such as the level of fats in our blood being to rise causing an
increase in our cholesterol levels. And let’s not forget our muscles. Our
metabolic rate drops as we are no longer expending energy to working
muscles - they’ve all but gone to sleep. Muscles need to move
regularly to promote circulation and to help regulate our blood
glucose levels. By simply standing our body is able to combat many of
these problems and diminish the total time we are spending in
hazardous sedentary postures such as sitting.
Changing your work setup to incorporate a standing desk could well prolong your life
expectancy. The accumulative effect of 30-40 years of working at a computer standing desk
could easily be described as life threatening, particularly when you start to review some of the
medical research on this topic. One study published in Annals of Internal Medicine showed
that prolonged sitting was independently associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes and
cancer and that was irrespective of if you exercised each day. With data like this being
published every month, it really does post the question - How is this issue not regulated by
governments like smoking or alcohol? If we know this behavior is so dangerous to our health,
why is it considered so conventional?
These are many benefits of a standing desk; however there is one clear very clear and
important one - Longer Life Expectancy. If you want to live a longer, healthier and more able
life, then you must embrace this new found health trend. Make the change and start standing
up to work.
