As working from home becomes more common, the problem of sedentary behavior is becoming more and more serious. It is said that sitting at a desk in the same position all day long can not only cause back pain and stiff shoulders, but also reduce concentration due to poor blood flow, which in turn increases various health risks. The ``electric standing desk’’ is attracting attention as a savior for modern desk workers.
The biggest advantage of a standing desk is that you can easily change your posture between standing and sitting. Standing for a long time can also make you tired, but by changing your posture regularly, for example by working standing for an hour in the morning'' or working standing during the hours after lunch when you tend to feel sleepy,’’ blood flow will be stimulated, which will refresh you and help you maintain a high level of concentration.
When choosing a standing desk, we overwhelmingly recommend an electric lift type, which allows you to adjust the height to your preference with the touch of a button, rather than a manual crank type. This is because manual models are a pain to raise and lower, and many people end up sitting on them and not using them. The recommended brand is FlexiSpot. Models with excellent cost performance and a memory function (a function that allows you to memorize multiple frequently used heights) are popular. Since you can purchase the top plate and legs separately, you can also enjoy DIY installation of your own wooden top plate.
As a precaution when installing this system, we recommend using a ``fatigue-reducing mat for standing desks’’ to reduce the strain on the soles of your feet when standing. It has just the right amount of cushioning to prevent your feet from hurting even when you stand for long periods of time.
Health cannot be bought with money. Why not invest in your future by getting a standing desk and creating a healthy and active remote work environment?
