HOW TO FIX YOUR POSTURE

Poor posture negatively affects your overall appearance, and can lead to back problems. The easiest and quickest way for anybody to improve reading concentration is to maintaing a good posture and prevent physical discomfort when reading.

Good posture is key to maintaining a healthy spine and can also prevent fatigue, back pain and headaches. It's important to stand up or sit up straight at all times, even when you're doing something as simple as reading a book. Here are some important tips:

Sitting with the right leg height - When you sit in a chair for a long period of time, it is important that blood circulation to your legs continues. Sit in a chair that permits both feet to rest flat on the floor. Try to keep your knees at the same height as your hips. If your feet don't touch the ground, use a footrest. Don't cross your legs.

Relax your shoulders - Make sure your upper back and neck are straight, but still in a comfortable position. Don't pull your shoulders back or hunch them forward. Hunching shoulders can pull on chest muscles and affect their flexibility, whereas pulling your shoulders back can make your abdomen jut out.

Maintaining Good Posture - Do not bend your head down to read. You should not lower your head to read. This causes a lot of neck stress. Set the height of E-Tool properly for your seat, which you may be able to raise or lower. Hunching forward is almost guaranteed to cause neck and back pain and reduce your focus, concentration and the amount of time you can read.

Body Conditioning - Research has repeatedly shown that prolonged sitting has detrimental effects on your body even if you’re exercising regularly. It is very important to support your neck and shoulders as you read. Make sure your lumbar area is supported by a small pillow or bend in the back of your chair. Otherwise, you are going to have pain.

Finally, when we take control of our posture, we are helping our vital organs to function well. When we’re slouched forward, our rib cage is actually pushing down on our internal organs. All this mushing can cause digestive problems. By having good posture, we keep things nice and open for our intestines to do their work.

There is so much to gain from improving your posture. Everybody's interested in the way they look, and then they're astounded to find the other benefits.

Proper posture is a position where your back is straight and your shoulders are held back firmly. Your bottom should press up against the back of the chair when sitting. Your posture is important because:
