Elevate Your Health
Our bodies aren’t designed for long periods of sitting, yet between office work, driving and watching TV, we sit up to 15 hours a day. Too much time sitting can increase your risk for health problems such as obesity, diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Incorporating standing and moving into your work life will increase health and alertness.
One of the easiest solutions is to use a sit-stand desk. A standing desk used correctly will reduce the risk of ailments linked to sitting all day and increase productivity.
