相信大家都知道久坐對你的壞處吧?經調查,在英國每天平均上班8小時,而這8小時中有 65%至75% 工作時間都是坐著的。而且上班族的第一年體重平均增加6.3公斤。

同時,在斯幹那維亞半島 (Scandinavia) 這個由歐盟號稱全球最快樂的地方,有90%的員工都有相關器材讓他們可以站著工作。站著工作可以降低過重、心臟疾病和糖尿病的風險,也可以提升工作的效率。
於是這位女生安娜貝爾 (Annabel Elliott) 決定嘗試著站著上班一個月,看看身體有沒有什麼明顯的變化。
![The Varidesk costs £350 and sits on top of your regular desk, where it folds out into a two-level work station (pictured) - it can also be folded down flat so the user can return to a seated position as required](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/29B1AE5200000578-3126078-The_Varidesk_costs_350_and_sits_on_top_of_your_regular_desk_wher-a-14_1434529011055.jpg)
於是,她開始嘗試使用Varidesk站立桌子來工作一個月。
![In Scandinavia - incidentally declared the 'happiest' part of the world by the UN - 90 per cent of office workers have access to standing work stations like the one I've been using (pictured)](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/29A8EB4A00000578-3126078-In_Scandinavia_incidentally_declared_the_happiest_part_of_the_wo-a-20_1434529052039.jpg)
這個桌子要價台幣約17000元 (約555美金),但她也說這價格完全值得。
她說他發現自己工作的效率和專注度大大的提升,原因可能是因為站著的時候血流動比較順暢,促進你的新陳代謝,讓你工作時較能專心,效率整整加快一倍。
![Standing made it easier to move around, break mental blocks, and feel less chained to the desk](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/29B1AE8200000578-3126078-Standing_made_it_easier_to_move_around_break_mental_blocks_and_f-a-15_1434529018913.jpg)
她還指出其實站著上班並沒有想像中的累,而且就算你累了,你也可以直接將站立放低、坐下來休息一下再繼續工作。
其實很久以前就有許多名人 (像是丘吉爾,達文西) 都喜歡站著工作。作家們更是喜歡站著寫作 (像是海明威、查爾斯狄更斯) 等等。
![Winston Churchill, pictured in 1939 at his Chartwell estate in Kent, insisted on doing all of his work standing up, and had a desk specially made to facilitate this](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/29A91D3300000578-3126078-image-a-4_1434448617180.jpg)
