Dear all,

Thanks for supporting our Aspirus Smart Standing Desk project!
Some of you have asked us why adjustable standing desks are important and how they fit into your lifestyle. Here’s our view.

Pro #1: Standing is good for your health
Our biology is adapted for movement, not stillness. The modern workplace keeps us sitting 77% of the time. Unsurprisingly a number of studies have recently linked such inactivity to obesity, heart disease, metabolic disorders, and some cancers. Adjustable standing desks help us alternate between sitting and standing, improving metabolism and circulation, and moderating blood sugar levels. This video sums it up well.

Pro #2: Standing reduces back, neck and shoulder pain
Most people, including us, have suffered from back pain after long hours at a computer. Standing naturally places less stress on the spine and encourages a better “S” posture.

Pro #3: Stay in shape
Independent of a proper exercise programme, alternating between sitting and standing at work results in slimmer waists and lower BMIs. Anecdotally it also gives you an energy boost!

As you would expect, using a standing desk takes commitment. With Aspirus, we have worked hard to incorporate a motor and smart features to make it as easy as possible to use seamlessly, properly and consistently.

Please check out our launch page at www.aspirus.co and share with your friends so that they can work with better health!

Ask more of your desk. Speak again soon!

Best regards,
Yuying and Andrew
