There are four types of bad sitting postures, and no one knows their harm

Since we were young, our mothers taught us to keep our heads up, chests out, and stomachs in when sitting. Now that we have grown up, we have forgotten everything the adults taught us. Every day we support our entire bodies with bad sitting postures. Do you know that these bad sitting postures not only affect your temperament, but also harm your health.

Bad Sitting Posture 1. Sitting Halfway on the Chair

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 mainly because it will cause the spine to arch, the waist will lose the support of the chair back, the pressure will be very high, and it is easy to cause back pain.

Suggestion: When sitting, make sure your buttocks are on the chair and your entire back is against the chair back.

Bad sitting posture 2. Leaning forward

Some people are nearsighted but do not wear glasses. When they look at the computer, they will unconsciously lean forward, which will also hurt the waist. This situation is very common among drivers because wearing a seat belt will put a lot of tension on the waist.

Suggestion: The correct sitting posture is to keep your waist close to the chair back and your back straight.

Bad sitting posture 3. Sleeping on your stomach

"No matter how beautiful the design of the sleeping pillow is, or what effects it is advertised to have, it is unscientific to take a nap on the table." Wang Yizhuan, deputy director of Yongkang City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, said that taking a nap on the stomach for a long time will cause a certain amount of pressure on the cervical spine, which is prone to soreness in the head, shoulders, neck and other parts, and even cervical spondylosis.

For women, the impact of sleeping on your stomach is more serious. It will squeeze the breasts, causing them to age prematurely, the skin to become loose, the breasts to become deformed and enlarged, and the blood circulation in the breasts to be poor.

Recommendation: It is best to sleep on your back.

Bad sitting posture 4. Hunchback

Hunchback will cause fat accumulation in the shoulders and back, making you have a hunchback and a strong waist, and lose the graceful feeling of femininity! Hunchback will compress the chest tissue, which will affect the health of the chest over time. Therefore, you should keep your head high and your chest out.

Because the center of gravity of a hunchback is located in front of the lower limbs, the center of gravity is unstable, and they are prone to falling and causing various injuries. This is especially true for patients with ankylosing spondylitis whose spine has fused into one long bone, so traumatic spinal fractures are very likely to occur, and in severe cases, paraplegia may occur. Even more serious is the spinal stenosis caused by kyphosis deformity, which often leads to late-onset paraplegia that is difficult to treat.

If you want to cure hunchback, you can only rely on yourself. You must always keep a straight posture. You can also practice Tai Chi and do some boxing to maintain your body shape.
