In a more general effort to improve my health, or at least slowing its deterioration, I am thinking about constructing a hybrid standing desk.
Prolonged standing appears to increase the risk of varicose veins. (References: Google search of /varicose standing/.) Are you sure that replacing sitting by standing will actually benefit you?
No, the best thing to do is to reduce time spent in front of the computer and get moving. Anyway, no position should be assumend for prolonged time and adding the possibility of standing gives a little bit of variety.
Hence the hybrid idea. Studies I’ve seen show that doing one or the other for long times is bad, but moving between the two at intervals or walking around more is far better for your health.

Or use a threadmill workstation.
