(Tip 19 of 21 biohacking tips)

Sitting is the new smoking—okay, that’s dramatic, but there’s truth in it. If you’re spending hours slouched at your desk, a standing desk might be one of the most powerful lifestyle shifts you make.

Standing more throughout the day can:

🚶 Improve posture and core strength
🧠 Boost focus and alertness
🩸 Enhance circulation and reduce stiffness
⚡ Increase overall energy

📊 What the Research Says

A study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine recommends standing or light movement for 2–4 hours per workday. Another found improved insulin response and decreased fatigue in office workers who switched to standing desks.

🖥️ Getting Started Without Overwhelm

• Start with 20–30 minutes per hour
  
• Use a mat or wear comfy shoes to reduce fatigue
  
• Alternate between standing and sitting
  

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about giving your body options. The more you move, the better you’ll feel.

With love,
Kate
