Also, lying down all day is not good for you either.

To summarize: spending the entire day in one position is bad for you. Human beings are animals. Animals are meant to move about.

I should probably take another cue from animals--they aren't meant to read internet comments.

If only we had some way know knowing when we should sit, stand, or lay down. We need millions in government-provided funding to figure this out for us.

The fact that anti-fatigue matting and footwear is a well established thing, and the health and safety staff have videos about the risks of standing all day was a pretty big clue that standing all day is not a great idea.
