A consensus statement of U.K. public health experts recommends those with desk-based jobs seek to get 2 hours of standing or light activity each workday. The authors cite evidence which links cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, mental health problems, and mortality with sedentary behaviors. They advise sedentary workers to regularly alternate between standing-based and sitting-based work, and strongly recommend adjustable standing desks.
PositiveTip: If you are a sedentary worker, you may experience better health and greater productivity if you mix sitting with standing.
I would like to see the Reference included for the data presented to I could review the scientific study myself. When you refer to a study, it would be nice to know where that study info is published. Thank you for including this information as I am studying to be a health educator and it is nice to know my sources when sharing info with people.
I agree for some like yourself, providing references to the studies is important. Here is the link to the study referenced in this article: http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2015/04/23/bjsports-2015-094618. If you ever need references in the future, please feel free to ask.
