Is standing all day 5 days a week at work with a standing desk potentially harmful? im 33, male and slipped a disc about a year and a half ago. i understand a proper standing desk is beneficial. can standing for 8/9 hours a day 5 days a week be bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A lot of jobs require standing the whole day during working hours. However, there are break times so you should move or do light exercises in sitting or supine position if possible during breaks if applicable.

Hello. I am a 27 year old male. I recently had my blood work done, and I found out that while my Hemoglobin level is normal (14.2 g/dl), my MCV and MCH are low (MCV= 69.8 FL. MCH = 23.3 pg). MCHC is normal too (33.3%). Is this normal or dangerous?
