Adjustable Standing Desks for home and office

  Modernization has changed us all, we spend more time sitting or being idle than we do standing, let alone be physically active. The abundance of technology, the bad habits, the lethargic rituals and a tapestry of other factors have thrust many of us into a sedentary lifestyle — so much so, that we can’t let go of it. But, where there is a will to better, there is a way. You may not know this, but poor posture and excessive sitting are slow, silent killers. Shocking, but true. Here we look at three sitting and posture related factors and how you can change your lifestyle for the better — starting with the mind. Your mind is the key A healthy mind is a healthy body and vice versa. Excessive sitting is a physical health factor as well as a mental health issue . Did you know that being sedentary starts thinning certain parts of your brain? Well, it turns  out that your medial temporal lobe (MTL) shows visible thinning when you sit for long periods — and the thinning of the MTL i...

Think You Have Put On Weight During Lockdown?  We all have that fear of putting on a few pounds here and there.  But, when fear becomes reality, you’re often left wondering what went wrong. And, if you put on pounds this lockdown, there is so much more to it than you might think.    According to a recent survey, 47% of British Nationals acknowledge that they have gained weight since the lockdown started back in March—a relatively high number but with multiple root causes. Many people stay at home or work from home and still manage to keep fit, so what went wrong during the lockdown period?     The lockdown had been physically and mentally exhausting on every one since people aren’t generally used to living in an isolated environment, let alone staying away from their loved ones.  To top that, the work from home concept became stressful for some, though it was inevitable.  Even at HumbleWorks HQ, we put on a few collective pounds ourselves. ...

  Are You Sitting Too Much?  It’s Time To Find Out! Imagine waking up fresh as a daisy, nailing your working day, and still having plenty of energy to enjoy some well-deserved family time in the evening before heading off to bed content and restful. Sounds good, no? While it may sound like some far-fetched utopian dream, being consistently content and energized is well within your reach—all you have to do is make some tweaks to your lifestyle.    Did you know? The average person spends around nine hours (or more) of their waking day sitting down. That’s a lot when you really think about it.  Our emotions and consciousness are so deeply rooted we space out without realizing, but our subconscious keeps us going. So, ever thought why that happens and what can you do about it? In addition to diet, sleep, and exercise, sitting down for excessive periods of time can have a significant impact on your overall health and wellbeing. In short, if you sit down too much, you...

  Have you ever thought about how you sit for a prolonged time and still don’t realize it, let alone realize the effects it has on your body?   Studies suggest that the average office worker spends75% of their day sitting down at their standing desk. And if you are a sedentary worker, if you’re not stuck at the office glued to the screen, you’re, you’re swiping or scrolling through your cell phone—which frankly, is just an extension of prolonged sitting.   Sitting down for long periods of time at an office desk (or anywhere else for that matter) is detrimental to our health in a number of ways—but the crazy thing is, most people don’t know it.    The concept of sitting in moderation is a concept that has been lost.Good posture is essential to a healthy, happy life—as is standing up more—and we’re going to explain why.  We’re not designed to sit but to stand and to move and as much as sitting can bring more comfort or relief to your body, just like too much...

  The first link between illness and sitting was observed in 1950. When researchers found out that bus drivers were twice more likely to have heart attacks than their bus conductor colleagues. It’s believed excessive sitting slows the metabolism, which affects our ability to regulate blood sugar and blood pressure. You might be thinking now it isn’t you, but think again. Think about your time commuting to and back from work, watching your favourite show, having lunch etc., it begins to sum up. Unfortunately, the human body is not made to sit down this much. Despite the time of your daily training, this may still now be enough. According to Peter T.Katzmarzyk, PhD. “Even within physically active individuals, there was a strong association between sitting and risk mortality. This is an important observation because it suggests that high amounts of sitting cannot be compensated for with occasional leisure-time physical activity even if the amount exceeds the current minimum physical ...
