Which of the 7 most harmful postures is yours?

Health is the capital of life, without health everything will become meaningless. But do you know? Some small details in life can harm our health. Don't disbelieve it!

1. Work

Arching your back and stretching your head are the most harmful to your body. They can cause the cervical spine and shoulders to flex forward, and induce severe pain in the waist, back, and cervical spine.

Correct posture: Choose a chair with adjustable height and back angle; keep your knees, thighs, back and elbows at 90 degrees when sitting; tuck your chin inward to open your chest and shoulders to help with breathing.

2. Watching TV

Sitting slumped affects breathing and digestion. Sitting lazily on the sofa not only squeezes your internal organs, but also easily leads to lumbar muscle strain.

Correct posture: Choose a slightly higher and harder sofa. If the sofa is too soft, you can add a cushion; if the seat is too deep, you may want to put a back pillow behind your waist to keep your back upright.

3. Stand

Leaning to one side will cause harm to the spine. This standing posture will cause uneven force on both sides of the lumbar spine, leading to low back pain.

Correct posture: Stand with your legs straight, your calves and abdomen slightly tightened, your center of gravity slightly forward, and your eyes looking straight ahead. If you need to stand for a long time, change your center of gravity using the "at ease" movement every 10 minutes.

Sitting with your chin in your hand can cause back pain. This is a very unfavorable posture for the cervical spine and can easily induce headaches.

Correct posture: When thinking about something, stand up and walk around, or put your hands behind your neck and twist your neck to ensure blood circulation in the brain.

5. Go down the stairs

Kicking puts stress on the leg joints, especially the knees.

Correct posture: The knees and toes should be vertical. For example, when taking a step with your right foot, your right knee should be relaxed as much as possible so that the weight of your body can fall on the sole of your foot.

Lowering your head and hunching your chest will affect your heart and lungs. Many people just keep their heads down and look at the road when they walk, which is the most likely way to cause fatigue.

Correct posture: Keep your head and look straight ahead, let your thighs drive your calves when taking steps, and use "small quick steps" to increase the frequency of leg movements, which is beneficial to activating cardiopulmonary function.

Lifting only your calves will cause damage to your knees and cause fatigue easily.

Correct posture: "Send your legs out" through the linkage of the upper arms, hip joints, thighs, and calves, with the knees slightly bent when landing and the soles of the feet "rolling" from the heels to the forefoot. This posture saves the most effort on the muscles, reduces the pressure on the knee joints, and provides the most complete cardiopulmonary exercise.
