You have nothing to lose but your chairs. And even if they are of supple executive leather or<br \/>\nhigh-tech Aeron mesh, those chairs are lethal. A raft of recent medical research has shown that the more time a person spends<br \/>\nsitting every day, the more likely he or she is to suffer from heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and, worst of all, an early<br \/>\ndeath. One recent study, from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, followed 17,000 Canadians over 12<br \/>\nyears and found that those who sat for most of the day were 54% more likely to die of heart attacks than those who didn\u2019t. The<br \/>\nfindings have spawned a new diagnosis: \u201csitting disease.\u201d And strikingly, even regular exercise and a healthy diet don\u2019t protect<br \/>\nyou-\u2014sitting in a chair for eight hours after going to the gym and munching on tempeh is still sitting.<br \/>\nFor those in non-sedentary lines of work, these findings are probably validating. But most Americans have the sort of jobs where<br \/>\nthey sit at desks while day by day their arteries harden and their bellies soften. The good news is that we don\u2019t have to revert to a<br \/>\nhunter-gatherer lifestyle to combat this silent assassin. Many of the problems can be solved, researchers say, simply by getting<br \/>\nup: standing and stretching once an hour or walking down the hall to talk to someone rather than sending an e-mail. A growing<br \/>\nnumber of office workers, though, are opting for something more radical\u2014they\u2019re going seatless. Their saviour is the standing<br \/>\ndesk.<br \/>\nStanding desks aren\u2019t new. Ernest Hemingway used one; so did Vladimir Nabokov, Winston Churchill, and Henry Clay. Thomas<br \/>\nJefferson designed his own. Standing-desk proponents claim Leonardo da Vinci as one of theirs, as well as Michelangelo, at<br \/>\nleast when he wasn\u2019t on his back painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling. As Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld spent his days<br \/>\ndashing off his infamous \u201csnowflake\u201d memos from a stand-up desk. Ever the standing evangelist, he questioned limits on how<br \/>\nlong Guantanamo interrogators could keep detainees on their feet in a \u201cstress position.\u201d \u201cI stand for 8-10 hours a day,\u201d he wrote at<br \/>\nthe bottom of one memo. Today, though, the standing desk is going mainstream, especially in the tech world, with its office<br \/>\nperks and geekish penchant for workspace optimisation. Standing desks have been spotted at Google, Facebook, Twitter, and<br \/>\nAOL.<br \/>\nLike the proponents of macrobiotics and barefoot running, today\u2019s antisitting crusaders argue that our modern lifestyle-\u2014with its<br \/>\nroughage-free processed foods, foam-cushioned shoes, Barcaloungers, and swivel chairs\u2014has, by cosseting the body, actually<br \/>\ncaused it to break down. When we sit our muscles atrophy, our back crimps, and our metabolism slows. Yet if sitting is deadly,<br \/>\nstanding all day can also be hard on the body. It puts more strain on the heart and can increase the likelihood of atherosclerosis<br \/>\nand varicose veins. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to remember, 100 years ago, most work was done with people standing up, and that\u2019s why we<br \/>\ntried to sit people down, because there are a number of problems,\u201d says Alan Hedge, a design and ergonomics professor at<br \/>\nCornell University.<br \/>\nA few companies have gone one step further: They\u2019ve installed desks with treadmills, allowing some of their employees to work<br \/>\nwhile walking in place (slowly, at speeds less than two miles per hour). Even at that pace, treadmill desks leave their sitting and<br \/>\nstanding brethren in the dust health wise, their champions claim.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg Business Week<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourhrworld.com\/formats\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Kill-Your-Desk-Chair-Arise.pdf\">Click Here To Download Kill Your Desk Chair &amp; Arise<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have Attached Kill Your Desk Chair &amp; Arise Publication: The Economic Times Mumbai;Date: Jul 3, 2012;Section: Career &amp; Business;Page: 8 Kill Your Desk Chair &amp; Arise Sitting all day takes years off your life; workers are turning to standing &amp; treadmill desks DRAKE BENNETT Arise, office workers of the world!
