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 almost never sit down when I’m at home. I cook standing, wash dishes standing, fold laundry standing, eat standing. I often play videogames and read standing, though that can be bad for posture if you’re not holding it out in front of you.
