MYTH OR FACT ❓
A standing desk is better for you than a sitting desk?
🔥IT DEPENDS. 🔥
🪑Sitting all day is definitely NOT great for your body – studies link it with all sorts of negatives from aches and pains to chronic disease and even a shorter lifespan.
But standing all day is also linked with potential issues like back and leg/foot pain and varicose veins.
🚶♂️🧍♀️The best bet: alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day! And don’t forget to take “moving breaks” – like walking around the office, doing active tasks, etc.
👉Do you sit at work? Stand? Or both?
