The Toll of Modern Work on Health

The Solution
Start Moving With Lunadesk
Workday wellness starts with ditching your chair in favor of the floor, ground, mat, couch, or bed. Then you move, and often.
With Lunadesk, movement through various postures and locations throughout your workday is easy, and embracing your body’s instincts feels natural. And as a result, the mind is revitalized, anxiety is calmed, creativity is activated, and physical well-being is supported.
“Your best position is your next one.”

Want a healthy physical body?
Spine
Moving through a variety of postures throughout the day helps maintain spinal flexibility and reduces the risk of stiffness or injury.
Eyes
Regularly moving and adjusting your posture helps avoid issues like dry eyes, tired eyes, and headaches by encouraging periodic breaks from screen use and varying focal distances.
Wrists
Frequently changing your posture and taking breaks throughout the day can prevent wrist injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive strain injuries (RSIs). It helps reduce the strain on wrist tendons and nerves, promoting better blood flow and reducing inflammation.
Heart
Regular movement and posture changes throughout the day improve heart health and circulation by promoting better blood flow and reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and varicose veins while enhancing overall cardiovascular function.
Metabolism
Regularly moving and changing positions throughout the day boosts metabolism by increasing energy expenditure and aiding in the regulation of blood sugar levels. Extended periods of inactivity can impair metabolism and circulation, regardless of subsequent physical activity. Continuous movement throughout the day is essential to maintain consistent metabolic function.
Psoas Muscle
The psoas muscle, deep in your lower back and hip area, helps with movement and connects to your nervous system, affecting your emotions. If it remains tight, it can keep you stressed. Keeping the psoas relaxed through stretches like kneeling can calm your body, enhance communication with your brain, and reduce stress.
And then there’s your emotional body…
Breath
Regular movement and posture changes throughout the day enhance respiratory function by preventing lung compression and promoting deeper, more efficient breathing. It helps maintain better oxygen exchange and reduces the risk of respiratory issues associated with prolonged sedentary positions. So if you’re in a posture that prevents you from taking a deep breath, change it up until you can.
Creativity & Cognitive Function
Moving throughout the day enhances creativity and cognitive function by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the brain, stimulating neural activity, and fostering new connections. It also prevents mental fatigue and supports a dynamic mental state, enabling better problem-solving and innovative thinking.
Focus & Productivity
Moving throughout the day sustains focus and productivity by preventing mental fatigue and improving blood circulation, which supplies the brain with essential nutrients and oxygen. Short breaks – to move between standing in the kitchen to sitting on the porch, per se – also refresh attention spans, enhance mood, and reduce stress, optimizing cognitive performance and overall efficiency.
Mindfulness
Moving throughout the day promotes mindfulness by bringing attention to the present moment and the sensations of the body during each movement. It encourages a deeper connection between mind and body, fostering awareness of physical sensations, thoughts, and emotions, ultimately supporting a more grounded and present state of being.
