Former United States Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld and famous novelist Philip Rose are both standing workers. They claim that in addition to focusing more attention and preventing drowsiness, they also have a professional sense of authority and are also good for human health. Some ergonomic experts and public health researchers believe that standing should be strongly promoted for health.
At the beginning of 2010, an academic paper in an American journal of epidemiology reported on a study of 123,000 people over 14 years of age, stating that adults who sit and work more than 6 hours a day are less than 3 hours a day. Of people have an 18% higher mortality rate. Standing can promote metabolism, prevent heart attacks, burn excess calories, promote insulin secretion, lower blood sugar, and lower cholesterol. People who sit and work for a long time are much more likely to develop diabetes, obesity, and heart disease than standing workers.
However, some experts believe that long-term standing work may cause back injuries, and women will increase the incidence of varicose veins, especially women who often wear high heels. ^[1]
