Standing Desk Health Benefits
Some surprising health benefits of a standing desk.
Better Posture
Back pain is prevailing among people, who spend loads of time sitting. This is because we don’t sit the way we should. Standing fixes this problem. However, in the beginning you might feel some real pain in your back, because through time the lower back muscles get really weak if they are not exercised properly.
Improved Digestion
When you’re sitting down, your internal organs are cramped. Couple it with an unhealthy diet, and now you see where the one in three comes from. However, if you stand, your internal organs are free to move, and the digestion process is faster.
Effortless weight loss
According to LiveStrong.com, you burn around 27% more calories standing than sitting. If you work standing instead of sitting for a weak (8 hours a day), you will burn around 840 more calories, which is roughly the equivalent of two Zumba practices.
More Energy – Higher Productivity
From a physiological point of view, standing up increases your blood flow and oxygen intake, which makes you feel livelier. This means that you will have less low-energy periods during the day. Also, standing up does not allow you to snooze in your chair, and you constantly feel like doing something. This is a guaranteed productivity improvement.
Be Creative And Inspire Others
After starting to stand in the office, many people feel like their mood improved, they are more sociable, because you don’t have to get off your chair to go talk to your office mate, or even do a friendly prank. Also, standing signals that you are up to something, you are here to start something. All of these are essential components for spontaneous creativity outbursts, as well as enjoying work.
