Executives, including Apple’s Tim Cook, endorse standing desks for improved health, but a new study reveals that excessive standing increases circulatory risks, contrary to common belief.
Research involving over 83,000 adults suggests that standing for more than two hours daily may elevate the risk of conditions like varicose veins and blood clots rather than prevent them.
The study points out that while too much sitting is harmful, the key to health lies in moving every 30 minutes, reinforcing the importance of varied movement.
Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis emphasizes that muscular contraction is critical for health, highlighting that merely standing is insufficient for health improvement.
