I'd like to share this article from "The Economist" magazine:

http://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/21583239-real-science-lies-behind-fad-standing-up-work-standing-orders

I'm not an authority on any of the content in this article, but I did find it interesting. It discusses recent findings on the health effects of a sedentary work environment. What I took away from this is that I can benefit from getting up from my desk to walk around, and that a completely sedentary work environment can actually reverse some of the benefits of an otherwise active lifestyle.
