In terms of physical health:
- Maintain spinal health: Slouching puts unnecessary pressure on the spine, which can lead to discs, scoliosis, and back pain. Correct posture helps maintain the natural curve of the spine, reducing strain on the spine and surrounding muscles.
- Protect joint health: Poor posture can put too much stress on certain joints, leading to arthritis or pain. Correct posture distributes weight evenly and reduces the burden on the joints.
- Prevent muscle imbalances: A crooked posture can cause muscle imbalances by overstraining certain muscles and weakening others. This can cause pain and lead to decreased motor performance. Correct posture helps to balance your muscles.
- Improved digestion: Slouching can put pressure on the abdomen, which can lead to indigestion, constipation, and more. Proper posture helps internal organs function properly.
- Improved respiratory function: A hunched back can prevent the lungs from expanding, making breathing shallow and short. Correct posture expands the rib cage and allows for deep, comfortable breathing.
- Reduces fatigue and increases energy efficiency: Poor posture causes unnecessary muscle tension, making you tired easily. Correct posture helps to use energy efficiently, reducing fatigue.
Mental and external:
- Confident impression: Correct posture gives the impression of confidence and confidence.
- Improved concentration: Slouching can reduce blood flow to the brain, which can lead to poor concentration. Correct posture can help improve concentration by improving blood circulation.
- Positive attitude: Studies have shown that having good posture can help trigger positive emotions.
Strive for proper posture in daily life:
- When sitting: Keep your back straight and your hips deep into the chair. It is recommended that your feet are flat on the floor and the monitor is at eye level.
- Standing: Straighten your shoulders, stick out your chest slightly, and pull your chin slightly. It is recommended that the knees be slightly bent so that they are not fully extended.
- When walking: Straighten your back, look straight ahead, and walk naturally from heel to toe.
- When lifting: Bend your knees to lift objects and keep your back straight. Heavy objects are better to lift close to the body.
- When sleeping: It is important to avoid pillows that are too high or too low, and to adopt a posture that maintains the natural curve of the spine.
