5 Reasons to Switch to Height-Adjustable Table Now

The reasons listed here are not all-encompassing, but we believe, they should be compelling enough already!

 

In the modern day world, work has chained most of us to our desks and chairs for much of the day. Apart from the sparse toilet or water breaks, we hardly stand up and move around. This lack of physical activity has some serious impact on our bodies. Some of us might already have detected some extra inches around our torso since the day we started work, and the reality is, things can get worse from here.

We turn off our fat burning engine by sitting down because lipase – the enzyme responsible for burning fats becomes inactive. Conversely, lipase is released and activated when we stand or move around!

 

CNA recently ran an article on chiropractors reporting higher incidences of patients complaining of pain in the neck, shoulders, back and wrists. These are very likely related to bad postures from using inadequate work furniture. The truth is, when we’re seated at tables or chairs that are not properly aligned to our bodies, we unconsciously bend or stretch ourselves to compensate for that misalignment. Over time, this inevitably leads to muscle fatigue and in some cases, injuries.

 

Long hours of sitting is linked to higher risks of cardiovascular issues, diabetes and stroke. One possible explanation for increased risk of getting diabetes according to Harvard Health Publishing is that sitting down relaxes our largest muscles, and that results in the muscles taking up very little glucose from the blood, therefore raising the danger of developing type 2 diabetes.

 

Now, we all thought that running or clocking in at the gym for that one hour a day would have sufficed. Turns out that if we sat around for the rest of the day, our effort during that hour would have been wiped out! Ouch!

 

Sitting for long hours causes blood to pool in the legs, which adds pressure to the veins, causing them to swell, bulge or twist. Although they aren’t usually serious, they can be quite unsightly and in some cases painful.

 

So Where Does Height-Adjustable Tables Fit In This Puzzle?

Some of us might recall that years back in Singapore, there was the introduction of standing booths in office spaces, where workers may plug in their laptops and complete their work standing. Well, that has its plus points, obviously in encouraging more standing than sitting. But, truth is, our legs can suffer if we stand for too long too! So, here comes the height-adjustable desk!

Firstly, by allowing us to increase the height of the work top, no longer are we held hostage to the need to sit all day to finish our work. We are empowered to choose a healthier way while remaining productive! Height-adjustable table eliminates the issue of poor ergonomics by enabling individual users to adjust the table height to their unique needs! And of course, when our legs get tired, we can sit down! Really can’t find fault with that!
