Standing Lowers Your Risk of Weight Gain and Obesity Weight gain is ultimately caused by taking in more calories than you burn. Conversely, burning more calories than you take in results in weight loss. While exercise is the most effective way to burn calories quickly, simply choosing to stand instead of sitting can also be beneficial. In fact, when compared to an afternoon of sedentary work, an equal amount of time spent standing has been shown to burn over 170 additional calories (6Trusted Source). That’s almost 1000 extra calories burned each week from simply standing at your desk each afternoon. This caloric difference could be one of the reasons why sitting longer is so strongly linked to obesity and metabolic disease.- Standing Lowers Your Risk of Weight Gain and Obesity – Weight gain is ultimately caused by taking in more calories than you burn.

- Using a Standing Desk May Lower Blood Sugar Levels – In a small study of 10 office workers, standing for 180 minutes after lunch reduced the blood sugar spike by 43% compared to sitting for the same amount of time. Both groups took the same amount of steps, indicating that the smaller spike was due to standing rather than additional physical movements around the office.
- Standing May Lower Your Risk of Heart Disease – A study found that bus conductors who stood all day had half the risk of heart disease-related deaths as their colleagues in the driver’s seats. Since then, scientists have developed a much greater understanding of the effects of sitting on heart health, with prolonged sedentary time thought to increase the risk of heart disease by up to 147%.
