  Sitting for more than 10 hours a day significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Prolonged periods of stationary behavior, including standing, can lead to heightened health risks. The frequency of movement is a more important factor for health than the act of sitting or standing itself.

The article from Rolling Out, published on December 7, 2024, titled "The Risks of Standing: Health Implications," discusses the potential health risks associated with prolonged standing. It highlights that while standing is often promoted as a healthier alternative to sitting, excessive standing can lead to various health issues. These include musculoskeletal problems like lower back pain, varicose veins, and increased pressure on the feet and legs, which can result in fatigue and discomfort. The piece also mentions that standing for long periods can contribute to cardiovascular strain, potentially increasing the risk of blood clots. The article emphasizes the importance of balance, suggesting that alternating between sitting, standing, and moving around can mitigate these risks. It also provides tips on how to manage standing time effectively, such as using anti-fatigue mats, wearing supportive footwear, and incorporating movement breaks.
