Are there any health risks from standing all day?!


Question:

Are there any health risks from standing all day?

I work in a department store and I have to stand for eight hours a day straight, with only an occasional five minute break. Are there any health risks for standing all day long? The floor is really hard and my feet and legs hurt after work. Is it just aches and pains I have to worry about or can you get blood clots or something from standing and walking too long?


Answers:

varicose veins is about the only health side affect a healthy person should worry about and that is something that takes years to build
