The October 2024 study in the International Journal of Epidemiology analyzed over 83,000 adults and concluded that while standing poses no cardiovascular disease risk, it doesn’t alleviate it either.
While standing desks became popular as a solution to sedentary behavior, new research indicates that they do not significantly reduce cardiovascular disease risk, challenging previous beliefs.
Instead of relying solely on standing desks, incorporating brief movement periods, termed 'exercise snacks,' into your work routine may offer better heart health benefits.
'Exercise snacks' are small bursts of activity throughout the day, including activities like taking stairs or quick dancing, which can promote better health while working.
