What do you know about desks? Are you aware of the new desk options for office workers? Most of us currently have traditional desks where you just sit there all day long, which can lead to a variety of physical conditions such as neck pain, numbness, neck discomfort and abdominal fat accumulation, which can be a very bad thing for women.
Sitting for too long is bad for your health. People who sit for long periods of time every day are at increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and premature death. On the other hand, sitting for long periods of time burns very few calories, and many studies have linked it to weight gain and obesity. This is a big problem for office workers, who spend most of the day sitting down. Luckily, standing desk are here to stay, and choosing one has the following benefits for you.
Reduces the chance of heart disease
Prolonged sitting and eating habits, in particular, can lead to the accumulation of lipids in blood vessels, which can lead to coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction and other heart disease. The data showed that women who spent the most time sitting had the highest risk of cardiovascular disease, with each additional hour of sitting associated with a 12 percent increased risk of cardiovascular disease and a 26 percent increased risk of heart disease.
Reduce back, neck and lower back pain
The human spine consists of the cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, sacrum and coccyx five parts. Although humans have evolved to walk upright, they have also left behind an underestimated "aftereffect" of increased stress on the spine. From walking on all fours to walking upright, the human spine was transformed into an S-shape to cushion the impact of upright walking, creating a "fragile" disc.
Sitting for a long time, especially when maintaining poor sitting posture, the waist needs to bear the weight of the upper body for a long time, which greatly increases the burden of the spine, leading to the frequent occurrence of cervical spondylosis and lumbar disease.
Reduce fat accumulation
Sitting in a sitting position for long periods of time can easily lead to poor blood flow, especially in the lower body, so small thick legs and belly are more likely to form. Compared to sitting for long periods of time, fat is mainly deposited in the lower body. Standing utilizes all the muscles in the legs, activates them and burns calories without accumulating too much fat.
