The Health Benefits of a Standing Desk

For thousands of years, our bodies have been strengthened and sustained by movement, until technological advances and the digital revolution abruptly chained us to our desks and chairs. After years of inactivity and sedentary living, it’s time to shake the status quo and spark the evolution of the office.

Dangers of Sitting

Sitting by the numbers

  • Sitting Disease kills 300,000+ people a year… in the U.S. alone
  • Increases mortality rate by 20% for men
  • Increases mortality rate by 40% for women
  • 20% of all U.S. deaths (35+) are attributed to physical inactivity
  • As much as 25% of breast cancer is caused by sitting
  • Up to 27% of diabetes cases are caused by sitting

 

When You Sit:

  • Your body slows down your metabolism and stops producing lipase, the enzyme that breaks down fat.
  • Just one day of sitting leads to a decline in insulin response from cells.
  • Sitting for extended periods of time reduces the body’s effectiveness in regulating glucose levels, increasing the chance of type 2 diabetes.
  • Your heart beats 10x slower while you sit, thickening your blood and leading to an increase in clogs in the heart.

 

Benefits of Standing

When You Stand:

  • When you move, your body sends endorphins to your brain, which increases your innovation, creativity, and even productivity.
  • Movement leads directly to fresh blood and oxygen pumping through your body, boosting your energy and reinvigorating your muscles.
  • Standing desk users increase their heart rate by 8 beats per minute, resulting in weight loss and burning calories.
  • Using a standing desk does not negatively impact typing and other workplace tasks.
  • Studies have shown that working at a stand up desk minimizes fatigue, depression, and tension, as well as increases focus, energy, and overall happiness.
  • Reduced back and neck pain
  • Reduced risk of heart attack and heart disease
  • Increased focus and productivity
  • Better posture and increased core strength
  • Burn up to 40% more calories per day 

 

Standing and Movement Helps Your:

  • Heart – Getting out of your chair increases blood flow, helping to lower cholesterol and improve overall heart health.
  • Muscles – Standing can help strengthen the abs and back while minimizing muscle tightness.
  • Spine – Standing counteracts pressure on discs and vertebrae caused by sitting.
  • Brain – Healthy movement sends oxygen and blood to the brain, helping to increase mental acuity.
