7 Benefits of a Standing Desk
The idea that sitting can be harmful seems ridiculous at first thought. Sitting is a default human body posture, and when people work, socialize, study or travel, they often do so in a seated position. It’s second nature. However, that doesn’t mean sitting is harmless. It’s like eating — necessary, but harmful if you do too much of it. Unfortunately, sitting too much, is now at an all-time high. Over half of the average person’s day is spent sitting, doing things like driving, working at a desk or watching television. In fact, the typical office worker may spend up to a whopping 15 hours per day sitting. To battle this trend, standing desks are becoming increasingly more popular.
