WHY THE STANDING DESK IS A GOOD AND HEALTHY OPTION.
Health studies have demonstrated a significant connection between sedentary
lifestyles and sitting, and point to an increased risk of diabetes, obesity and heart
disease.
Standing for short periods of time increases blood flow, burns extra calories, and
stimulates our metabolism. On the other hand, prolonged standing can lead to
other risks and increased fatigue. It is therefore imperative to change positions
several times during the day. Alternating 50% of sitting and standing promotes
better physical condition and health at work.
The kqueo sit/stand desk encourages users to move and change their postures
throughout the working day. Available with 4 types of electric height adjustment,
including programmable presets; this means that a user can customise the
height of their desk to exactly the right height with a simple push of a button.
THE BENEFITS OF THE STANDING DESK
Our bodies are designed to move, and scientific studies are pointing more and
more to the benefits of alternating sitting and standing positions.
1. An energy surplus
The movement induced by standing improves blood circulation and the supply of
oxygen to the brain.
2. An improvement in your mood
Standing has been shown to improve mood, reduce fatigue and tension.
3. Better productivity
The positive benefits offered by the standing desk on health, tone, and concen-
tration improve productivity at work.
4. Weight loss
Standing consumes more energy than sitting, and burns 50 calories per hour.
5. Increased concentration
Moving promotes the creation of nerve cells and improves concentration.
6. Reducing the risk of illnesses related to physical inactivity
Physical inactivity is one of the major causes of mortality worldwide. Standing
upright reduces heart problems and diabetes.
7. A reduction in caffeine consumption
Standing periods improve tone and energy levels naturally, reducing the need for
artificial stimulants.
