Standing Longer = Longer Life?!

[revsgirl]

[h=6] [/h][h=6] A new survey, on CNN Health blog, says the longer you stand up each day will make your life longer. So how long are you standing each day? Are you going to have a longer life, or are you going to be cutting it short? :tongue:[/h]

A guy at work recently switched to a stand up desk. I'm thinking about doing the same. I hate sitting at a computer 50+ hours a week.

Well I spend about 1/2 the day standing and the other 1/2 sitting so does that mean I'll be dead by 50? :)

That explains why scarecrow never dies. Technically, i won't die if i never ever sit? Haha

I will be the oldest man on the planet!

I've worked 12-16 hour days for almost 20 years and I spend 75% of that time standing up. My wife works with me and stands up more than I do.

I hope thats true. I stand all day long. I actually enjoy standing. Well, I dont knowingly enjoy it, but I always do it. I have my laptop in my kitchen on the counter so I am always standing when on the computer. My wife has to tell me to sit at the table or I will eat standing. I am just used to it from working in my pizza place long hours and having to stand all day. now its second nature.
