A new study says that using a standing desk at work promotes health, but it can be too much of a good thing. The trick is finding a balance between time spent sitting and standing.

Using adjustable desks or sit-stand workstations can encourage frequent changes in posture, promoting better health. Incorporating gentle exercises like walking, stretching, or light yoga can also help combat the effects of inactivity. "The data used in the study was not explicitly collected on standing desk usage," the researchers clarified.

Prolonged standing can cause circulation issues like varicose veins and doesn't offset the risks of a sedentary lifestyle.
