“Sit up with your back straight”- You must have often got scolded for sitting with a bent back. After all, good, straight posture is necessary for healthy and fit life as good posture means your bones are properly aligned and your muscles, joints and ligaments can work as nature intended. Hunchback, shoulders scrunched up and bent posture are all indicators of bad health. It can also lead to various problems like backaches and others. Moreover, if your upper back curves forward, it can lead to breathing difficulty and compression of heart. Thus, to remain healthy and fit, follow some tips for a good posture.
To check your posture at home, you should check that your shoulders are level, your head is straight and not tilted to the side, your hips are level, not sloped to one side and the spaces between your arms and your sides seem equal on both sides. To quickly improve your posture if it does not adhere to above posture, follow these given steps. Bring your feet parallel, not turned out, and about hip width apart. Bringing your feet parallel engages the muscles in the front of your thighs and keeps your hips, knees and ankles in proper alignment. Reach up through the top of your head, feeling your spine lengthen, getting tall. You should also draw your shoulders back and relax them down. Other tips for good posture are never sleeping on your stomach and sitting symmetrically so that there is equal pressure on both hips. Also avoid high-heeled boots and shoes as they can spoil your posture. You also need to choose a mattress which supports you but is neither too hard nor too soft. Watching TV, reading books or simply sitting down or standing postures should be paid attention to so that you have a perfect posture indicator of perfect health and fitness level. In this aspect, yoga too has displayed positive effects. Thus, keep your posture perfect for perfect health.
