"You've read the warnings: "Sitting will kill you." And many of you have sought out standing desks, fearful that a chair will only hasten the end of your mortal existence."
"Well, take a deep breath, relax and add this to the mix of research out there on the pros and cons of standing at work: a study published Tuesday in the International Journal of Epidemiology found that sitting is not associated with an increased risk of dying."
But, you'd better make sure you get some exercise sometime. The lack of activity might just be bad for you (typed while sitting at a desk).
I'd still like to try a standing desk - Rumsfeld loved his!

Yeah, after about a quarter century of eating Egg Beaters, I'm now back on the God given perfect food. Real EGGS! So much for Gov't. sponsored advice...
ReplyDeleteYea, they have some really cool standing desk available. They are all over the place where I work. The desk tops are adjustable on the fly, so if you feel like standing...raise it, or if you want to sit awhile, it can be easily lowered. Even though other departments have them for their employees, my cheap boss won't buy one unless you have a doctor's note. It took me three years or asking to get a new office chair. The one I was using was a discard from another department. sister K.
