There are multiple benefits of having a standing desk for gaming. Firstly, it is healthy to stand up occasionally rather than sit for ten hours before the computer.

According to health journals, sitting for eight hours plus a day can increase the risk of chronic diseases by 10 to 20%. Studies also show that an average person burns eight to ten calories by standing for an hour. Moreover, it helps reduce probable shoulder and back pain.
