相信大家都知道久坐对你的坏处吧?经调查,在英国每天平均上班8小时,而这8小时中有 65%至75% 工作时间都是坐着的。而且上班族的第一年体重平均增加6.3公斤。

同时,在斯干那维亚半岛 (Scandinavia) 这个由欧盟号称全球最快乐的地方,有90%的员工都有相关器材让他们可以站着工作。站着工作可以降低过重、心脏疾病和糖尿病的风险,也可以提升工作的效率。
于是这位女生安娜贝尔 (Annabel Elliott) 决定尝试着站着上班一个月,看看身体有没有什么明显的变化。

于是,她开始尝试使用Varidesk站立桌子来工作一个月。
![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)
这个桌子要价台币约17000元 (约555美金),但她也说这价格完全值得。
她说他发现自己工作的效率和专注度大大的提升,原因可能是因为站着的时候血流动比较顺畅,促进你的新陈代谢,让你工作时较能专心,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)
她还指出其实站着上班并没有想像中的累,而且就算你累了,你也可以直接将站立放低、坐下来休息一下再继续工作。
其实很久以前就有许多名人 (像是丘吉尔,达文西) 都喜欢站着工作。作家们更是喜欢站着写作 (像是海明威、查尔斯狄更斯) 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)
