My beloved standing desk did not make the cut.

Oh well, I have all but forgotten it.

What was this thread about again?

Democrats hardest hit. Their brains get crushed.

"it actually shrinks the part of your brain responsible for storing memories."

Are they sitting on their heads?

[nopardons]

Yeah, yeah, and GLOWBULL WARMING is rewally "real", you can change your sex just by saying so, or lopping off/adding some body part, and if you really, really, REALLY believe that you are a member of the Negroid race, even though you are a blue eyed blonde with stick straight hair, skin the color of skim milk, and nary a Negroid marker in your DNA, then of course you are a "black" person! /s

I can guarantee whomever did this study, that my memory is superior to theirs and my 50s is in my past!

Good advice! Time to get up and do something.

One study found, however, that standing desks aren't actually as good for you as we thought.

They sort of go around in circles on this, but standing a significant part of a work day is the answer, standing and moving around. You don't stand stiff in one spot like a statue, but lift the feet and move the body some, as well as take occasional short walks around the office.

I agree!

Sitting seems to put a lot of pressure on my brain....

oh....wait....I mean.....

Well, sitting too much can certainly impact your spine. I have surgery scheduled in a couple of weeks to fix a spinal problem. Doctors saying that it could have been influenced by too much time slaving in front of my Silicon Valley Startup workstation.

The article could be summed up into six words:

I’ve been on my 65 year old feet all day today - and now I’m sitting for the evening because I’m tired.

I never sit, I recline. So I’m good.

Do idiots really misplace car keys? Unbelievable.
They’re in my pants pocket. They don’t explore new locations.

I’ve misplaced guns, cash, shoes, hats, drinks, vehicles, people, and clothes, but NEVER car keys.

[pa_dweller]

you might be more likely to remember where you put your car keys

Saw this on another thread (paraphrasing) - Senility is not forgetting where your keys are, it's forgetting what they're for!

With disabilities, I can’t sit or
stand for any prolonged periods.
What would this do for your memory?
I’m guessing they did this study
on a room full of potheads. Does
anyone remember John Boehner?

Then why did my farmer grandfather who worked from sun up to sun down outdoors and on was on his feet get Alzheimers? I hate these manipulative studies.
