Why Height Adjustable Desks Are Better For Your Health

 

Over the last couple of years the design of modern office furniture has – thankfully – evolved from the archaic practice of being purely made for purpose to modern office furniture that is geared towards being more user-friendly and the wellness of your employees.

Humans weren’t designed to be sitting for long stretches at a time. It is, in fact, so bad for you (and the British journal of Sports Medicine will back us up on this one) that along with a thirteen percent increased risk of cancer and more than twice the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, people who sit for too long also have a seventeen percent increased risk of premature death.

Luckily we’re here to help! The effects of prolonged sitting can be easily undone by something as simple as standing up.

Here are a couple of height adjustable desks (or sit-stand desks) to help your employees get up and work on their wellness:
