Health Benefits of Solid Wood

In our society, man-made synthetic materials constantly surround us. They are usually made from petroleum and treated with harmful chemicals and dyes. When we use them, we get a chemical reaction in our bodies leading to allergies, headaches, and even cancer. Not to mention how they impact our environment. But when we use natural Wood–the chemical reaction is entirely different. Wood releases oxygen, stimulating blood circulation and lowering cortisol levels to improve your health and well-being.

Some benefits of using Solid Wood include:

• Reduces the levels of stress by creating a more calm, relaxing, and tranquil working environment.
• Helps to reduce glare, deflecting unwanted light.
• Keeps your cool in the heat and warm in the cold–no air conditioning required.
• Adapts to your body temperature–warmer in winter, cooler in summer.
• Absorbs sound–reducing noise by up to 60%.
• Improves workplace relationships–who doesn’t enjoy working at a place that looks awesome?

Benefits of a workstation made from solid wood.

When we talk about the health benefits of working on a solid wood workstation, it is not just about its aesthetic appeal. Solid wood furniture can make you healthier than ever!

Have you ever felt like you’re stressed out from work? Studies have shown that constant contact with solid wood can cut down your stress levels and improve your health, as well.

A desk is a place where you spend most of your time in almost any way. We can use it as a writing table, reading table, and working desk. When you are under extreme stress or have health issues, you need to have a solid wood workstation that can provide you with significant health benefits.

Solid wood is entirely different from engineered wood, veneer, or laminates. It is better if your desk is made of real solid hardwood like Teak or Walnut like what we provide in our Apeman® UpDesk. Unlike veneered desks, you get all the health benefits that go with using solid wood. It is perfect for those who work at home or in office environments.
