People nowadays do not appreciate or understand the value of having a straight back, which is why most have bent-over looks. In this article we will outline three benefits of having a straight back.

1. Makes you look more attractive:

When someone has bent back, the person carries an aura of an unkempt, unhealthy man or woman. He looks dumb and poor even though he may not be so. He or she is unattractive to behold from the opposite sex and may find it difficult to get suitors.

But on the other hand, one who has a straight back looks smart, healthy and attractive to behold even from the opposite sex.

2. Prevents health complications:

When you walk with a bent back over a long period of time, you may develop problems in your back like pain or a slipped discs which may lead to a permanent slouch, poor blood circulation, and pressure inside your chest.

3. Helps you breathe properly:

When your posture is right, your lungs are positioned right and are not under excess pressure so you can breathe in more and better. This is one of the reasons why most meditation practices involve sitting straight at least one moment, and is also one of the reasons why they are so relaxing and effective and people enjoy doing them, especially yoga.

When more air enters your body the right way, it makes you look more alive, sharper, refreshed and able to do more things, as your cells and muscles are receiving a constant, bountiful supply of air the whole time, enabling them to do what they have to do. It also makes you think and reason better as your cognitive function is improved.

Stress is also drastically reduced when your body is receiving air.

4. Feel better:

When your posture is straight, you feel more confident, more in control and generally superior. This feeling will help you go through life better and help you deal better with daily hassles. Try sitting or standing straight and compare your emotions and moods then, with when you sit or stand slouching.

Most modern jobs require that people spend long hours sitting in front of a desk, but this posture could actually have some negative effects on your back, along with a number of other negative effects that you may never even have considered before. Complications from sitting incorrectly can be felt not only in your body, but also in your mind, and can greatly impact your ability to function physically, mentally, and emotionally. Keep on reading to find out more.

1. Improper Digestion

As unlikely as this might seem, the fact is that sitting all day can affect your digestive system in a negative way. When you remain in a seated position for a long period of time, your digestive organs become compressed and not capable of functioning at ideal levels. This dramatically slows down your digestive system causing discomfort, constipation, or delayed metabolic conversion.

2. It Increases Your Stress Levels

When your body is compressed, it affects your breathing, which in turn affects the nervous system. To compensate for this, your lungs and heart will have to work harder which ultimately causes stress in the body. Sitting upright with broad shoulders and an open chest allows you to breathe easier and also increases hormone levels, making you feel more empowered which further decreases stress.

3. You develop a Hunched Look

This is when your back forms a C shape at the top of your spinal column. Your spine is supposed to be straight, but becomes curved at this spot. Sitting for long hours (over a computer screen for instance) with bad posture is the major cause of this distortion of posture. Poor sitting posture causes the chest muscles to tighten leading to an excessively curved spine in the upper back or thoracic region. Under such circumstances, the muscles of the upper back will eventually loosen and get weaker.

4. Lumbago

This is simply a medical term for lower back pain. Lumbago is the most common consequence of poor posture, and occurs due to muscle strain. The back muscles, ligaments & discs are put under extra stress when the spine is not in proper alignment however, having strong muscles will help to keep the spine in proper alignment and prevent back pain. Strong muscles also prevent the spine from extending beyond its normal range of motion, which is essential for protecting the ligaments and disks from injury. Visit www.DamonSoraya.com for exercises that strengthen and stretch the muscles that support the spine and help maintain proper posture.

5. Fatigue

Ever wondered why you get home so tired after work when all you did was sit down at a particular spot throughout the day? Well here’s your answer: It’s might be because of your bad posture at work. Your tired and tight muscles, can’t support the skeleton as well as they are meant to and have to work extra hard just to hold you up, which drains your body of energy.

Conclusion

Poor posture is very easy to develop and can affect your entire being in ways you’ve probably never even thought of. You should take note of these effects of poor posture that we have shown you here, and work towards adjusting your posture as much as you can.
