A recent study suggests that standing desks, despite their popularity, may not be the healthy alternative to sitting all day.
Researchers found that standing for extended periods, more than two hours daily, can increase the risk of developing circulatory issues such as swollen veins and blood clots.
Contrary to popular belief, standing was not found to reduce the risk of heart conditions like stroke or heart failure.
The study highlights the importance of incorporating regular movement throughout the day, regardless of whether you sit or stand for long periods.
