Everyone says: “Sitting is the new smoking.” So standing desks became the cure. But here’s the truth: they’re not as miraculous as marketed. Studies show standing too long increases varicose veins, joint strain, and back pain. A Canadian trial found no major improvement in long-term health markers for office workers who switched to standing desks. The real issue isn’t sitting or standing—it’s static posture. Human bodies are built to move. People who broke sitting with just 2 minutes of walking every half-hour had better blood sugar and heart health than those who stood all day. I tested this: sitting, standing, pacing, stretching. What changed wasn’t just energy—it was creativity. Moving sparked better ideas than sitting OR standing still. So maybe it’s not “sit vs. stand.” The secret is: don’t stay still. #WorkHealth #BodyHacks #OfficeLife
