Study Reveals Standing Desks Offer Minimal Health Benefits
TL;DR Summary
A new study involving over 83,000 adults suggests that standing desks, often promoted for health benefits, do not reduce cardiovascular risks and may increase the risk of circulatory issues like varicose veins and blood clots. Standing burns only nine extra calories per hour, and the study emphasizes the importance of regular movement every 30 minutes to maintain health, rather than prolonged standing or sitting.
