In the past few years, standing desks have gained popularity among office employees and anyone who must spend hours sitting working on a desk. Their advantage seemed obvious, and we were advised on the many benefits a standing desk could have on our health. The Smithsonian.com listed five benefits of standing desks that sounded almost miraculous: reduced risk of obesity, reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and other metabolic diseases, reduced risk of cancer, and lower long-term mortality risk.
People and corporations flocked to buy and try this new office equipment to boost their productivity while improving their health. Many were quick to sing the praises of their new standing desks. Gwynn Guilford, a writer for Quartz, reported that within a week of using her standing desk, her back pain started receding; a month on, and she had almost forgotten about it.
