Sitting is the new smoking – a serious wake-up call for our health
Have you ever heard of the term ‘sitting is the new smoking’? At the latest since the publication of the book of the same name by Dr Kelly Starrett, the negative effects of excessive sitting have become clear. This comparison may seem drastic, but unfortunately it is true. Prolonged sitting, especially in the wrong posture, can have serious health consequences. Back pain, tension, metabolic disorders and even cardiovascular diseases are just some of the possible consequences.
The good news is that effective solutions can help. Adjustable desks allow you to alternate between sitting and standing, thus ensuring more movement in your working day. Standing aids offer a flexible solution for in-between times and ergonomic office chairs support a healthy posture.
Stand up for a healthy back
Height-adjustable desks
A height-adjustable desk offers a variety of physical and mental health benefits. It promotes healthy posture, reduces the risk of back problems and other health issues. At the same time, it improves concentration, productivity and creativity. Alternating between sitting and standing makes you feel fitter and more balanced, which has a positive effect on your general well-being. However, it is important to note that working in a standing position for extended periods of time can be unhealthy. Standing aids help to relieve the strain on your spine when standing.
The revolutionary solution for more movement in the office
standing aids
Standing aids offer an excellent opportunity to work on a kind of ‘mezzanine floor’. This allows you to work at your desk at three different heights and positions. This enables a dynamic way of working and optimally supports your health.
Promote your health with the right office chair
ergonomic office chairs
An ergonomic office chair is essential for healthy and productive work. It supports the natural curvature of the spine, relieves muscles and joints and thus helps to prevent back pain, tension and other postural problems. Improved posture increases concentration and performance. An investment in a high-quality, ergonomic office chair is an investment in your health – you will feel the difference.
