Harvard’s health blog sort of always gets it wrong which diminishes their brand IMO. This is also the publication that said something to the effect of “[…] other than reducing stress, there are no health benefits of using the sauna.” Nobody is claiming that standing desks will help you lose a massive amount of weight. People are using them for maintaining proper posture, and to be more generally active during the day. If you use a standing desk, you’re more likely to go from standing to sitting and vise versa, you’re more likely to move around a bit as you complete your work—as opposed to sitting in a chair which makes it easy to be sedentary for hours.
