Height adjustable workstations boost ergonomics

It has been proved that sitting for prolonged periods of time is damaging to health. Problems can arise such as cardio vascular disease, muscular skeletal problems, obesity, diabetes and even some types of cancer.

Here are 5 benefits of being able to vary your working day balance between sitting to standing:

Lower the risk of heart disease – By incorporating more movement in to your working day you will increase your heart rate. This will increase calories burned and help maintain your body weight.
Reduce obesity – In combination with a healthy diet, movement also helps digestive systems to work better.
Improves or reduces back pain – Height Adjustable Workstations can help reduce the aches and pains by allowing us to vary our posture positions.
Lower blood sugar levels – After eating blood sugars rise. The higher this level gets the worse it is for health. Excessive bouts of sedentary time has been linked to the risk of type 2 diabetes. Studies have shown that standing helps to reduce blood sugar levels after meals.
Increase productivity, energy and mood – Standing forces us to vary our posture to maintain body comfort. This in turn in turn is said to help workers stay focused and can improve mood.
