Heightens Focus
Over the last few years, standing desks have been gaining popularity. Many people have switched to standing desks to increase their focus, productivity, and health. Also, standing desks heighten mental focus and energy in the workplace.
In a traditional office setting, people tend to sit throughout their day, which has been shown to contribute to a host of negative effects—physical and mental. For example, medical experts warn that sitting for more than three hours at a time can lead to health problems such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Workers also lose an average of six minutes every hour due to distracted work caused by physical discomfort; that’s nearly an hour per day.
Standing will keep your feet on the ground, and your muscles continually receive new sources of small amounts of movement-inducing energy, which translates into more blood flow and more oxygen flowing throughout your body. This allows for better circulation in every part of your body, including your brain, which means that you’ll be more alert and able to think more clearly than if you were sitting still all day.
