The answer might be easier than you think: Get a <strong>standing desk<\/strong>! Not only does standing at work make you happier, but it can also make you healthier too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sitting for 6+ hours can make you 18% more likely to die<\/strong> from diabetes and heart disease according to an infographic from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ultimatemats.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ultimate Mats<\/a>.
