How important is posture anyways?
Posture is of utmost importance when discussing optimal health. It is as vital as eating right, practicing stress relief, exercising and getting a good night’s sleep. Good posture is a way of doing things with more energy, less stress and fatigue. Without good posture, you can’t really be physically fit.
Good Posture is Good Health- Structure Governs Function Proper posture means that your vital organs are in the right position and can function at peak efficiency. Posture also helps contribute to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
Without good posture, your overall health and total efficiency may be compromised. Because the long-term effects of poor posture can affect bodily systems (such as digestion, elimination, breathing, muscles, joints and ligaments), a person who has poor posture may often be tired or unable to work efficiently or move properly.
How you carry yourself when working, relaxing or playing can have big effects. Did you know that just fifteen minutes reading, typing or looking down at your phone when using the wrong positions exhausts the muscles of your neck, shoulders and upper back?
