THE PROBLEM: BEING INACTIVE AT WORK
The last couple of years sit-stand desks have been a hot topic of discussion in media around the world. Studies have revealed a startling fact: middle-aged adults spend more time sedentary (inactive/sat down) than over 75s!
Modern conveniences contribute to the rise of inactivity; using transport and using escalators/elevators instead of stairs means we walk much less than we should. Not to mention the facility to shop online; with a few clicks shopping is delivered to your door, so you no longer have to walk around shops and carry heavy shopping home. However, the most significant contributor to the problem is work. Jobs are becoming increasingly more office-based and people who are sat behind a computer screen are not moving much for most of the working day. The growing rate of inactivity in the UK has become a serious concern and is now being highlighted by health experts as something that needs to be vastly improved.
Sitting at work more than seven hours a day can greatly affect your health. Many people struggle being sat at an office desk for a long time, often ending up feeling lethargic, achy and stiff. Sitting uncomfortably with poor posture can also result in long-term problems with the neck and spine. It can also be a problem for an employer, as workers can become less productive throughout the day when early tiredness kicks in, they lose concentration and cannot focus on their tasks fully.
THE SOLUTION: SIT-STAND DESKS
At Duronic we offer a fantastic solution to get you more active at work and feeling all the benefits it brings: the Sit-Stand Desk. Using a sit-stand desk can do wonders for your health; it can increase your energy levels, burn calories, promote better quality of sleep, improve blood circulation and even muscle tone. It can also improve glucose and insulin levels.
In the workplace, a standing desk can benefit you in a lot of ways. Studies show that workers will experience higher levels of concentration, vigilance and accuracy. Compared to their fellow seated employees they are better at decision making, and have better judgement and problem-solving skills.
