Advantages of an Electric Desk – Discover the Secret to Ergonomic and Productive Work
Let’s first explain what an electric desk is, also known as a standing desk. As the name suggests, this piece of furniture allows you to work not only in a seated position but also while standing. Thanks to its adjustable mechanism, you can set the height to suit your needs, allowing you to perform your tasks in a comfortable position. It’s well known that prolonged sitting is not good for our health, causing negative effects on the skeletal and circulatory systems. Early studies on the functionality of electric desks already suggest that using one can bring measurable benefits for both physical health and workplace motivation.
Lower Risk of Overweight and Extra Calorie Burn
Do you know how many extra calories you can burn by adding standing work to your daily schedule? Let’s assume, for the sake of this experiment, that our subject is an 80-kilogram man. If he incorporated 4 hours of standing work into his day (while keeping 4 hours of seated work), he would burn an additional 100 kilocalories! Over a workweek, that adds up to 500 kcal, and over a month, 2000 kcal – the equivalent of almost half a kilogram of fat! As you can see, big changes don’t have to involve complicated actions. The small-steps approach works perfectly here, and the benefits go far beyond just the fat burned!
Lower Blood Sugar Levels with Minimal Effort
There’s a reason why sugar is considered one of the biggest enemies of our well-being. It even appears in seemingly healthy products, such as sweetened juices or fruit yogurts. But do you need to give up your favorite snacks and carefully read every label? If you implement work using an electric desk, this issue might affect you less. Did you know that a series of studies have been dedicated to this topic, and the results are clear? One study showed that prolonged sitting increases the risk of type 2 diabetes by 112%, and can raise the risk of cardiovascular diseases by up to 147%. Another study found that a "standing session" introduced right after lunch for three hours reduced blood sugar spikes by 43% compared to a seated position. Based on these results, it’s safe to conclude that an electric desk can significantly reduce the risk of developing type II diabetes, which is diagnosed in over half a million people annually.
Your Back Will Also Thank You for an Electric Desk
The neck and back pain that comes after hours of sitting is probably familiar to you. It’s no surprise – prolonged sitting negatively affects posture. Did you know that you can say goodbye to this problem if you switch from a regular desk to an electric one? Regularly changing your position from sitting to standing helps relieve pressure on your spine and improves blood circulation – but that's not all! It turns out that you can also count on… an improvement in your mood.
Electric Desk and Mood
Can we add one more (and quite significant) point to the list? It turns out, yes! Did you know that a sedentary lifestyle can increase the risk of conditions such as depression? Movement – even moderate – increases the level of endorphins (the "happiness hormones") in your body, giving you more energy and a better mood. This undeniably translates into greater work efficiency and increased productivity. And on top of all that, you gain everything we’ve mentioned above as a bonus.
