Standing Desks: The Truth About Their Health Risks

Standing desks have become popular, but a new study reveals that standing for long periods might not be as healthy as it seems.

Research shows that standing for more than two hours a day could increase the risk of developing problems like varicose veins and blood clots.

Surprisingly, the study found that standing didn't lower the risk of heart problems like stroke or heart failure.

While standing desks can be beneficial, the key takeaway is that regular movement throughout the day is crucial for overall health.
