It is also not good to stand for a long time, it increases the risk of problems related to blood circulation.

Australian researchers have found that standing instead of sitting for long periods of time does not improve heart problems, but increases the risk of blood circulation problems. In a study published Thursday, researchers at the University of Sydney analyzed data from research-grade wrist devices worn by 83,013 adults in Britain and found that standing had no health benefits compared to sitting.

Researchers found that standing for long periods of time does not reduce a person's risk of heart-related problems, such as heart attack, coronary heart disease and stroke. In fact, it may increase the risk of blood circulation problems related to standing, such as varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis.

According to the report of Xinhua news agency, research found that sitting for more than 10 hours a day increases the risk of heart disease and blood circulation related diseases. The bottom line is that standing for too long will not improve a sedentary lifestyle and may be risky for some people in terms of circulatory health. We found that standing for long periods of time does not improve long-term heart health and increases the risk of circulatory problems.

Standing will not improve lifestyle

Matthew Ahmadi, lead author of the study from the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney, said the main findings are that standing for long periods of time will not improve lifestyle and may be risky in terms of circulatory health for some people. We found that standing for long periods of time does not improve heart health in the long term and increases the risk of circulatory problems.

walk instead of standing

Researchers suggest that people who regularly sit or stand for long periods of time should take regular walks throughout the day. Previous research published in July by Ahmadi and his co-author Emmanuel Stamatakis found that six minutes of vigorous exercise per day or 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise could help reduce the risk of heart disease even in people who Sit for more than 11 hours a day.
