Jonathan Parks+FollowStanding Desks: Overhyped or Life-Saving? Everyone’s talking about standing desks. But are they really worth the hype? Here’s the reality: Sitting for over 6 hours a day increases your risk of heart disease by 64%. Standing desks reduce sedentary time, improve posture, and even burn a few extra calories. But here’s the twist: standing too long creates joint pain and varicose veins. The key is movement. The healthiest workers alternate between sitting, standing, and short walks. I tested a timer that buzzed every 30 minutes. I’d stand, stretch, or just walk to refill water. My back pain improved within 2 weeks. So no, standing desks aren’t magic. But when used right, they can literally change how your body ages at work. #WorkHealth #BodyHacks #DeskJobSurvival10Share
