Rising desks or standing desks are in vogue these days. Ever since scientists proved that spending too much time in the sitting position is harmful to the posture and the back of human beings, people are now looking at buying either the standing desks where one stands and works the entire time or the height-adjustable desks where the height can be adjusted for the person to sit and stand, both while working.

The positive side of the rising desks

Spending too much time sitting can lead to overweight issues as well as problems of the heart and increased sugar levels in the body. This is one of the reasons why more and more offices are incorporating standing desks to encourage their workers to work in a healthy and fit manner.
People who tend to sit and work after their meals are at greater risk of rising sugar levels in their bodies. Sitting most of the time is a sedentary lifestyle that not many doctors advise nowadays. The best is to stand as much as possible even when you are working on a serious project and have a typical sitting job.
Rising desks are good for the back. Research in this field suggests that people can experience reduced back pain after using standing desks for weeks. 
The standing position is also a great mood enhancer. Again, scientific studies in this field have proved that people who stand while they are working are more energetic and less stressed out than their colleagues who are sitting and working the entire day.

Continuing with the good effects of these desks, it has been found that people who sit most of their time are prone to die early as compared to people who stand and work. At least a correlation or a link has been found and even if the studies are only in their initial stages, the fact that there could be a possible link between these factors should never be ignored. And finally, some researchers are also trying to find a link between increased productivities and performances in the standing position vis-à-vis the sitting position. Since the rising desks are associated with higher energies and a fitter healthy body, it is assumed that people who use such desks are working better than their counterparts who sit and work.

There is another type of work desk that has come to the forefront in recent years. It is the desk with adjustable desk height. As is evident from the name. these desks are manufactured in a way that their height can be adjusted. Some desks come with 3-stage height adjustments while some have the 2-stage adjustment feature. What you need to understand while buying such desks is that these desks are supposed to combine the best features of a sitting desk and a standing desk. Buy one that has a sturdy and stable frame, has a motorized mechanism that helps adjust the heights, and has a modern-day display system that shows the height of the desk appropriately.
