When I Stand Up, My Feet Hurt?

It seems like standing desks are a great idea at first. These products are all benefits of increasing activity, promoting alertness, and protecting against health problems that are attributed to excessive sitting. Nothing is good in excess, whether it is naturally good or harmful to your health. There is no exception when it comes to standing.

Standing for an extended period has been found to be just as hazardous as sitting for an extended period. The risk of back pain, back disorders, and varicose veins increase when you're on your feet all day instead of hurting the heart and promoting obesity. Aside from swelling ankles and pain in the feet (regardless of how you dress), your feet swell too.

That said, standing up for two hours is no problem. Health issues begin to surface after this, however. The foot pain may be temporarily relieved by sitting down, but if it continues, it can become lifelong.
