Standing desks for better health

Studies have shown that sitting at our desks hours on end is detrimental to our health. It seems that the human body wasn't made to sit on its ass all day and that doing so makes us fat and  is slowly killing us. One solution is to get a an adjustable standing desk like the Elevate Adjusta. With built in hydraulics that can convert the desk's height from regular to standing. This is an impressive solution that can even handle multiple monitors and a heavy desktop computer. The downside,  it costs around US $3,000.00, it definitely addresses the issue of sitting too long.
