Anyone who works in an office spends a great deal of time behind a desk. It's inevitable. While sitting may seem like a pretty harmless way to spend your day, it can actually pose a variety of health risks. Several studies have linked long periods of sitting with weight gain, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and other health issues. The solution probably seems pretty easy; just stand up a little more; but if your work involves a computer, standing isn't very practical. Unless you invest in standing desks.

Think about your typical day for a moment. How many hours do you spend sitting at your desk? Our desk has become the center of our digital world. People have stopped moving and started sitting more than ever before. Researchers have linked sitting to over a dozen scary medical conditions. But there is good news. Researchers found that standing for a few hours each day over the course of a year has massive benefits.

At this point, most of us are fairly familiar with work-from-home life. We roll out of bed a few minutes before our first meeting of the day, slip into our finest pair of cozy sweatpants and the same hoodie we wear every day, and somehow we still manage to get enough work done in the day to avoid being fired.

There are plenty of things about working from home that is certainly an improvement from having to go into the office every day (namely, the commute). But if there's one thing that traditional offices got right, it's the innovation that is the corner standing desk.

A standing desk is designed to allow you to stand while working, which experts say is better for your posture than sitting. When you sit, many people hunch their backs and are looking down at their computers. Over time, this poor posture can lead to back and neck pain (also known as "tech neck"), which leaves you feeling creaky, achy, and stiff as soon as you get off the clock.

Standing while working, even for just 30 minutes at a time (4 hours a day or more) can have a major impact on your health and body, and it's not difficult to do if you have the right equipment. sit stand desk, sometimes known as a standing desk or height-adjustable desk, is all the rage and makes it very easy to change posture throughout the day while working.

A standing desk is any arrangement of furniture that allows you to stand up while you work at your desk. It can be as simple and inexpensive as placing your computer monitor on top of a box or a stack of books, or it can be as elaborate and pricey as a customized platform that adjusts height with the push of a button. A standing desk l shaped can range in price from a few hundred dollars to more than $1,000.

One thing many studies have been clear about is that long hours of sitting are linked to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, some types of cancer, and shorter life. So it makes sense that standing would counteract these risks. However, studies have not yet been done to either prove or disprove these assumptions.

Using a standing desk encourages people to switch from a sitting position to a standing position every hour or so, which experts say is the best way to reduce the pain and strain of sitting. Try to spend one hour standing for every one to two hours of sitting. The key is to switch it up often—you don't want your body to get too comfortable in one position, which could lead to tense muscles.

A proper standing desk with keyboard tray allows you to keep your arms at a 90-degree angle and your wrists level, reducing strain on your wrists. You also want to adjust the height of your monitors so that your eyes are looking across at the top third of the monitor comfortably.
