To combat these problems, researchers increasingly recommend incorporating sit-to-stand workstations that encourage movement between sitting and standing. This shift not only eases the negative effects of prolonged sitting but also helps avoid the downsides of standing too long.
A 2017 press release revealed that Canadian adults spend approximately 70% of their waking hours sedentary. Additionally, Canadian office workers remain seated for 77-80% of their working hours. The release stated:
“Most Canadians know that low levels of physical activity harm our health. What many may not realize is that spending less time sitting and more time standing, walking, and engaging in light movement throughout the day can reduce the risk of chronic illnesses like obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and respiratory diseases.”
Alarmingly, four out of five Canadians face an increased risk of developing chronic conditions such as heart disease, cancer, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
Creating a comfortable and efficient workspace is crucial. Ergonomic setups, including standing desk converters, help workers stay active and productive.
Taking purposeful breaks from sitting every 60 minutes—standing up, stretching, and resting your eyes—can improve overall health and relieve pain from prolonged computer use, such as wrist, upper, and lower back discomfort.
One of the first benefits of using a sit-to-stand desk is improved posture. You become more aware of your screen positioning, keyboard placement, weight distribution, and monitor height. This awareness reduces the hours spent sedentary, making you feel more energized and comfortable throughout the workday.
If you’re ready to upgrade your workspace without replacing your existing desk, a standing desk converter is an excellent option. This allows you to convert your current desk into an ergonomic workstation that supports both sitting and standing.
