I still remember the sit stand desk that everyone talked about a few years ago? It is said that this kind of table can burn calories, treat obesity, relieve physical discomfort, improve blood pressure, and can concentrate and improve work efficiency. Is this really the case?

Sit-stand tables are good in some ways, but researchers say they are not as magical for health as many people expect.

At the time, it was said that this table could burn calories, treat obesity, and instantly stimulate vitality. Nowadays, many white-collar workers have used it for several years, and it is well documented whether this kind of table is really so amazing.

They analyzed the effects of the table from six categories: behavior (such as sitting and standing time), physiology, work performance, psychology, discomfort and posture.

Researchers have found that the biggest use of a sitting-stand table is to relieve physical discomfort. People use this table to relieve discomfort and pain. Various studies have shown that it is effective not only for people with back pain, but also for obese adults and healthy people.

The advantage of a sit-stand table is that it encourages users to move, because this is what the human body needs. Whether it’s changing the center of gravity from one foot to the other while standing, or alternating sitting and standing throughout the day, it’s important to avoid standing still for long periods of time.
