Finally, many people are deciding to switch to a
Height Adjustable Desks after seeing one too many studies about the dangers of sitting all day. At first, many people found that standing for long periods was a little rocky but soon felt a lot better after some time. It will slowly come to a point where standing will feel more natural than having to sit all day. A standing desk can be just as bad for you as a traditional sitting desk can be. The Real Solution is movement, NOT sitting all day and NOT standing all day either. What you need is an Ergonomic Height adjustable desk. This is an important difference and one that most of the media and many of the people that sell these products fail to understand or care about!
Ergonomics is a term you must have heard before. It is the practice of designing products or systems to take proper account of the interaction between them and the people who use them.
The most important thing you can do for yourself is to move on a timely basis. Remember, we are trying to replicate the experience of working in the office without all the stress & harmful effects of sitting all day. If you have a height adjustable desk you can listen to your body and you can move timely throughout the day. You can now have the freedom to move when it is convenient and when your body tells you that you need to. Stand for a few minutes when you get to your desk after a long sitting. Stand while you take a phone call. Stand after lunch to help maintain your focus and avoid the afternoon sleepiness. Stand when your back feels stressed or your neck is stiff. Adjustments give you the freedom and that is good for your body and your mind as well!
Importance Of A Height Adjustable Desks:
Sit-stand-switch capability: Standing burns calories and involves more muscular contraction. Members of the medical community are promoting a “sit-stand-switch” philosophy for optimum health of employees. This philosophy says to change between sitting and standing every 30 minutes to prevent too much strain from being placed on your body in any one position.
Exercise + standing is the secret to fitness: Even if you exercise for an hour every day, it won’t be enough to overcome the ill-effects of sitting for 12+ hours a day. Working while standing/walking had about a 32% lower risk of early death. Your body needs little movements throughout the day in addition to regular exercise to maintain peak fitness and health.
Able to stay more alert and energetic throughout the day: Moving your body help pumps fresh blood and oxygen to the brain, which releases mood-enhancing chemicals.
Enhanced brain power & Having a better nights rest: Good circulation is essential for good health. Within just ten minutes of sitting, blood flow is negatively impacted, slowing circulation and increasing the risk for blood clots as well. Standing helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to the brain by stimulating blood flow. It facilitates neurogenesis, or the creation of new cells, which increases brain power or its capacity.
