Many people know that sitting for long periods of time at work is bad for health. What exactly are the negative effects?
We found a lot of reports, which contain a lot of theoretical descriptions, such as glucose index, the formation of risks in the body, etc. These are things that most people don’t understand very well, so we will skip them. If you are interested, you can open the link at the bottom to see the details. For simplicity, we only combine the test results of working while standing.
There are other arguments both for and against in those articles, but they are all relatively subjective and not supported by actual data, so I will not mention them here.
In summary, sitting for long periods of time at work is bad for your health, and basically most people agree with this argument. There are many benefits to standing and working for long periods of time, but there are also other problems that may occur. Therefore, we still recommend alternating between sitting and standing. A better ratio is 60~80% standing work and 20~40% sitting work.
