As a former fitness journalist, I'm wary when brands make claims about the long-term health benefits of their products. Many stretch the truth to get you to invest in some special workout equipment, a pair of shoes, or a nutrition supplement, and the battlefield of research surrounding these claims can make finding the truth incredibly difficult. That's why I always try to focus on the tangible, measurable benefits of products I test and review.
To that end, when I read about a recent study asserting that standing at your desk doesn't actually affect your circulation, I wasn't shocked. There had been little to no long-term research affirming this claim, and I have enough experience standing while working to know that my blood wasn't pumping any smoother after seven years on my feet.
