ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., April 6, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- It's been said that sitting is the new smoking, and while that may sound like hyperbole the truth is years of slouching in a chair all day can lead to deadly diseases and disorders. Recent studies point to serious health risks from prolonged sitting such as diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer. Men who sit for at least 5 hours a day, for example, are 34% more likely to experience heart failure than men who sit for 2 hours a day—regardless of how much they exercise.
Prolonged sitting also increases the risk of fatal cancer by 21% (again, regardless of exercise), and those who sit for 11 hours a day have a 40% higher risk of dying in the next 3 years, compared to if they sat for 4 hours a day. In response to these staggering statistics, Star Ergonomics has developed a line of affordable sit-and-stand desks designed to reduce the time we spend sitting while improving productivity.
Popularly used by students, employees, and in home offices, the Star Ergonomics foldable workstation rests on a main desk and easily extends from a sitting to standing position and back. By breaking up hours of working, studying, or gaming between sitting and standing, users report having less fatigue, stress, and even injury. In fact, according the Harvard Medical School using a standing desk burns calories, reduces the risk of shoulder and back pain, and promotes good metabolism.
Star Ergonomics' sit-and-stand workstations don't have to be limited to the dorm or office, as the tabletop design allows them to be used anywhere people sit for prolonged periods. As a result of helping prevent fatigue and pain, sit-and-stand desks also promote productivity. Workstations from Star Ergonomics are motorized, have pre-cut slots to keep cables neat, and feature a wireless phone and mouse charger built right into the desk to help users stay healthy and productive.
The company's Research and Development team is currently developing smart standing desks that offer a glimpse into the future of intelligent sit-and-stand desks. Combining artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and machine learning, these next generation standing desks will help users achieve a perfect ergonomic posture using hand level and patent-pending eye level detection. With Google Assistant, Alexa, and Apple HomeKit integration, Star Ergonomics' smart desks can be controlled via touchscreen, hand gestures, and even voice commands, as well as an app where users can track their progress and achieve their ergonomic goals.
