Moreover, a lousy posture is not just bad for your back, but it even effects your inner body organs. The point is you must work on your posture for both your health and good appearance. You do not worry if you have always experienced the issue of wrong posture. Following are a few tips that will ensure your posture improves. However, you need to stay constant when you are trying these tips in your life.
A nice way to prevent posture problems is simply stand up tall. You are going to feel instantly better and look better and slimmer. What you can do is, you just pretend that you are standing against the wall to check your height. Hold your head straight and fold in your chin. Your ears must be over the middle of your shoulders. Stand with your shoulders back, your knees must be straight, and stomach tucked in. Try that your booty or hips are not sticking out. Straighten up as if you feel that your head is stretched towards the sky.
Once you will do it regularly that too multiple times in a day; you surely will catch up the trait of right posture. You will eventually find yourself standing or sitting in a straight posture without your knowledge. After all, practice makes things automatic for you.
Since you work on your laptop or desk throughout the day; you might find it comfy to slouch a little bit. Indeed, it is comfortable to slouch – perhaps even lean back and spin a bit. But it’s a bad thing for your posture.
Rather, you can try to Sit all the way back in your chair. Just keep a small, rolled-up towel or lumbar cushion right behind your mid-back to protect the natural curve of your spine. Then make sure that you bend your knees at a right angle and keep them the same height, or knees can be bit higher, than your hips. Keep your feet flat on the ground.
You know, naptime is no excuse to limp. You should skip the soft, loose-fitting mattress. It is better if you choose a firm one that helps you in holding your spine’s natural shape. If you are a side sleeper, you then can bend your knees, but they should be bend only slightly. Make sure that you do not hug your knees.
