SUMMARY:
- Look at your reflection and note how your arms hang down by your sides. If you see that your palms are turned inward facing your legs and your thumbs point towards the mirror, congrats! You’ve got good posture!
- A major cause of your slouching is the fact that you’re constantly hunched over a desk all day and never take the time to develop the muscles that support a strong upper back and shoulders.
- Just like how improving your flexibility helps your posture, so does strengthening your core muscles. Strong core muscles are essential for back health. If you have lower back problems, core exercises can do wonders!
- One simple way to keep your spine straight is to put a firm pillow between your knees when you’re lying on your side. This takes the extra pressure off your spine that comes from bending in harsh ways.
- Wearing high heels forces you to lean your body forward, which can, in turn, cause you to hunch over. If you can, try not to wear heels over 3 inches and opt for flats when it’s possible.
- Stand-up desks are becoming more and more common in the workplace. There are even adjustable ones so that you can switch from sitting to standing and vice versa. Another thing you can do at work is to get up more often and walk around a bit.
- According to the UK’s National Health Service, bad posture can cause permanent damage in your neck, upper and lower back, as well as your muscles. You can experience pain, troubles standing for long periods of time, frequent headaches, and even breathing problems.
- Aside from the physical effects slouching has on your body, it can actually dictate how your social life is going. When a person slouches, they appear to be shy and anti-social.
