Height Adjustable Desks for the 21st Century Employee
It is suggested that prolonged sitting can be bad for your health, but what's really worth noting is the metabolic consequences such as resting blood pressure, triglycerides, cholesterol and cardiovascular disease biomarkers. The American Cancer Society states that mortality rates increase by 37 percent in women who sit for more than 6 hours per day. The same was true for 18 percent of men. 
On a brighter note, WebMD.com reviews another study (this one from The European Heart Journal), which suggests breaks from sitting may also reduce ‘inflammatory processes that can play a role in the blocking of arteries.’ The key here is movement – a combination throughout the day of sitting and standing can be beneficial to just about everyone!

Enter the height adjustable desk - within recent years, an innovative addition to workplace furniture has taken hold. Although type of technology is relatively versed in the 911 industry and other 24/7 high intensity usage markets, it hasn’t been until recent years that the concept has emerged in the general office setting. Now, call centers, security and even companies such as Google and Facebook and even classrooms from elementary to University level are starting to use this technology.

Who Should Consider a Height Adjustable Desk? Look at it this way, the average American could probably "stand" to reduce their chance of diabetes, heart problems and stroke. Although a little dramatic, it's true, just about any occupation that has you seated for an extended period of the day could shorten your life, regardless of how active you are after clocking out. As USA Today noted in its article The Longer You Sit, the Shorter Your Life, sitting around is a favorite American pastime.
