Standing more may not reduce cardiovascular disease risk, could increase circulatory disease, research finds
Briefly

Standing more compared to sitting does not improve cardiovascular health and might increase risks like varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis, contrary to popular belief.
The study highlights that sitting for over 10 hours a day escalates the risk of cardiovascular disease and orthostatic issues, emphasizing daily physical activity's importance.
Dr. Matthew Ahmadi stresses that merely standing cannot compensate for a sedentary lifestyle, as it could pose circulatory health risks instead of benefits.
The research urges individuals to seek alternative methods to enhance cardiovascular health rather than relying solely on standing as a solution.
