While there is nothing wrong with sitting and working, however, sitting for hours at a time without stretching your legs or moving around, hunched forward can lead to problematic health issues.
It is also surmised that those who sit and work for eight to ten hours without getting up to move or do so for a mere minute or two have a greater probability of developing symptoms associated with type-2 diabetes, certain types of cancer, poor blood circulation, joint and back pain, and cardiovascular complications.
The connection between adverse health complications and sitting for prolonged periods was diligently made in medical research performed in the 1950s. This era was when scientists studied and identified double-decker bus drivers and found that drivers were more than likely to develop cardiovascular issues compared to the bus conductors, who were found to be in good health.
In addition, today, due to our fast-paced lives and busy schedules, many people don't take the time out to perform some form of meaningful exercise. Sedentary lifestyles have put people more at risk of prematurely falling victim to illnesses they could steer clear of only if they did some exercise. Combine that with sitting hunched over laptops, tablets, and smartphones and the risks increase.
If you're someone who is looking to break the cycle of back pain and discomfort and want something that can help enhance your productivity while also compelling you to do some exercise, then there is nothing better than getting a standing desk.
Work desks that come with height-adjustability features are innovatively designed for people to stand and work comfortably maintaining their natural posture. This in turn can help you perform better, keep your spine health in check, and prevent other debilitating illnesses and symptoms from taking shape. Not to mention, such office furniture has become a mainstay of modern work environments.
