If a man has the wrong posture, it can really cost his life

As the saying goes, "sit like a bell", a bad sitting posture will compress the waist, which can easily cause back pain over time. Here are some incorrect sitting methods that may hurt your waist. Try to avoid them.

Lying on the sofa

A soft sofa will make your buttocks sink and your body arch, which makes you feel very comfortable. However, because the knees are higher than the waist and the back is arched, the waist muscles will be pulled and put a lot of pressure on them. Sitting for a long time will easily cause waist muscles fatigue and cause back pain. It is better to have a slightly harder chair, especially for people with bad waists. It is not advisable to sit on a soft sofa or bed.

The chair is only half occupied

Some people are used to sitting with their buttocks only touching the edge of the chair, their backs leaning against the chair back, and their waists hanging in the air, some even worse are stretching their legs forward and spreading them. In fact, this sitting posture that seems to be very comfortable and relaxing is very harmful to the waist.

This is because this sitting posture causes the spine to arch, and the waist loses the support of the chair back, which creates a lot of pressure and can easily cause back pain. It is recommended that when sitting, you should ensure that your buttocks are on the chair and your entire back is close to the chair back.

Sit cross-legged

Many people like to cross their legs or put one foot on top of the other leg when they sit. But over time, it will cause an imbalance in the muscles on the left and right sides of the legs, which will in turn affect the waist muscles. It is recommended that when sitting, your legs should be flat on the ground with your thighs parallel to the ground. If the chair is too high, you can put a small stool under your feet.

Lean forward

Some people lean forward when sitting in order to see the computer screen clearly, which can also hurt their waist. Many people also have the habit of leaning forward when driving. In fact, when wearing a seat belt, sitting like this puts a lot of tension on the waist. The correct sitting posture is to keep your waist close to the chair back and your back straight.
