I just spotted this article by Joseph Stromberg from last year about the health benefits of standing while you work. Having lapsed for some reason (was it because I was distracted by my mom's long hospital stay last winter?), I am reminded to get up out of that chair again and am currently installed at my standing workstation once again.
There seems to be some pretty strong evidence now that standing (for many reasons) will help you to lose weight. And in fact, the summer I started to stand, I suddenly lost ten pounds. Now, I was being pretty careful about what I ate, but there was a time correlation between the sudden drop and the standing.
If that isn't convincing enough... well, there's also that reduced risk of death.
