Furniture Makes the RoomFurniture Makes the Room

When it comes to working, you really shouldn't be sitting down all day, even if you are working on a computer. The best work environment is a versatile work environment, where you are able to both sit and stand throughout the day. You can achieve that with a wood stand-up desk that will allow you to raise the desk and stand throughout the day.

Benefit #1: Lower Back Pain

One of the biggest benefits of standing throughout the day is that you will enjoy reduced back pain. Sitting all day can result in a lot of back pain. Taking breaks and standing up throughout the day, even for just an hour, can reduce our back and neck pain. If you are tired of dealing with a sore back at the end of every day, getting a standing desk is one way to make your back feel better and help reduce the pain you feel at the end of the workday.

Benefit #2: Lower Risk of Weight Gain 

Second, when you are standing up, you are burning more calories than when you are sitting down. When you sit all day, weight gain is a natural side effect of the lack of movement. Standing up means you are moving around more, which will allow you to burn calories each hour you are standing. Over the course of a year, all of those little calories you burn will add up and will help to ensure that you don't gain weight sitting at a desk all day.

Benefit #3: Increased Productivity

Sitting all day can hamper your ability to get things done. When you stand up, you will enjoy an energy boost, which can help you get more done throughout the day. Getting a little extra energy can go a long way in helping you get more done and achieve more each day. Increasing your productivity and getting more done will help you be a better worker and employee.

Benefit #4: Reduce Your Risk of Heart Disease

Sitting all day can be hard on your heart. A sedentary lifestyle is not suitable for your cardiovascular health. By adding the option of standing throughout the day, you can help improve your heart health and move out of the risk of having a sedentary lifestyle.

If you want to improve your health, you need a standing desk. A wood-standing desk will look great and give you the flexibility to both sit and stand throughout the day. You will enjoy less lower back pain, reduce your risk of heart disease, lower your risk of weight gain, and increase productivity.
