There is evidence that standing is better for the human body than sitting. For work we have standing desks for computer work and such. Some aim to stand 8+ hours a day.
What about for other activities? How do the unemployed, retired, and homemarkers get in enough standing? Are there good ways to stand while reading a book, or sipping a coffee and enjoying the dawn?
I honestly think it’s too broad of a question since each of those types of people will be doing vastly different things through their time at home. I might play with my dog more often when unemployed, while a homemaker is on their feet caring for a child, and a retired person is doing home maintenance. All of those are different activities on foot, but maybe not available to people in different situations.
I could note however, my grandma has a standing sewing machine that’s pretty cool. As for books, I’ve used a music stand in the garage before, though maybe a podium of sorts would be better in the house.
