My grandmother ran a store and was on her feet all day long. She had really bad vericose veins when she was older. That is a real problem with standing.

- andrewtbham 11y agoObligatory... RTFA > "I would say that there's evidence that standing can be bad for your health." A 2005 study in Denmark showed prolonged standing at work led to a higher hospitalization risk for enlarged veins. If you read the article, they state that their is causation between standing and varicose veins. I am simply relating a personal anecdote confirming my experience that standing all day is not good for your health. I always wondered why this never came up during the standing desk craze.
