I was reading this thread the other day :
Interestingly enough from personal experience - I do feel a lot more effort is put on my body if I stand while on my computer vs sitting - but I still stand while using my computer because based on my experimentation with sitting I get the following experiences
I notice every time I sit in a chair - even if I try to maintain correct posture - my hair gets flaky and I get serotonergic symptoms - I feel like when one is sitting down this might put pressure on the intestines' (like for example - I hate doing sit-ups because I get serotonergic symptoms from the action of doing it - I am assuming this is the case from some type of compression effect on the intestines from doing crunches- causing digestive upset and gut serotonergic increase) - when I stand - I get none of these symptoms and my hair looks and feels completely fine - once I go back to sitting my hair gets greasy again and I get serotonergic
I am interested in hearing about different experiences from sitting and standing from different people - what I have been doing (with success) is maybe go on my computer for an hour then take a 10-15 minute break laying down on my bed to rest my legs then repeat
If compression effects on the intestines is especially harmful in the context of serotonergic symptoms I am thinking how harmful are waist wraps and belts ? Should one opt for suspenders rather than belts around the waist ? I have always liked wearing suspenders a lot more than belts
Standing At Work May Be A Lot More Dangerous Than Sitting
I am sure many people here have seen the flood of ads for "standing desks" - a raised desk without a chair which a person uses to work in an upright position instead of sitting. Thee have been many health claims made for these desks, none of which have been verified so far in controlled studies...
