Adjustable height desks may just be the answer to making Americans healthy again

The average human spends 9.3 hours each day sitting. That's 1.6 hours longer than the average human sleeps, which is 7.7 hours per day. That's not good. Studies show that sitting increases the risk of death by 40%.

Manchester, NH (prHWY.com) October 23, 2012 - Manchester, NH, October 15, --The average human spends 9.3 hours each day sitting. That's 1.6 hours longer than the average human sleeps, which is 7.7 hours per day. That's not good. Studies show that sitting increases the risk of death by 40%. Given that humans were designed to sit and stand, the health risks of continually sitting are clear. One answer to improving the health of Americans can be found in an adjustable height desk.

"Height adjustable desks let you switch from standing to sitting and vice versa throughout the day" says, Mike Kind, CEO of thelifedesk.com, which sells adjustable height desks in a variety of sizes, styles and colors.

The LifeDesk height adjustable desks have a motorized frame that raises the desk's working surface from 22-inches to 48-inches. By varying the height adjustable desk from sitting to standing two or more times a day, the user gains immediate health benefits. For example, when sitting, enzymes that break down fat, drop by 90% while caloric burning drops to 1 calorie per minute. Sitting for two hours causes good cholesterol levels to drop 20%. Remaining sedentary for 24 hours reduces insulin effectiveness by almost 25%. Alternating between standing and sitting can reduce all of these health hazards.

"You can even get everyone in your office to participate in standing more at work by getting an adjustable height table," Kind says. "People can stand during meetings or to work on projects. It can really change the dynamics of how people interact throughout the day."
