Humans aren’t meant to sit down all day and work on our desks, and our body recognizes this. If you sit down and work on your computer for too long, you’ll notice that you feel sore and that you need a bit of a stretch or walk to make it go away.
And the more you sit, the more you’re at risk of health issues. Herniated discs, muscle degeneration, and weakened bones can also happen if you sit for too long.
This is where standing desks can help. Standing desks improve your posture, and lessen the muscle strain in your shoulders, neck, and back.
Another benefit is that standing desks are good for your productivity. This is especially helpful now that most of us are working from home.

When we’re standing, more of our body’s muscles are working. And since this increases blood flow to our brain, it can help you feel more focused and make you more productive.
