Improve Your Posture Today and Say Goodbye to Back Pain Forever!
Your parents told you for years to stop you're slouching and stand up straight.
For the most part many parents tell their kids to stand up straight for appearance sake.
But the truth of the matter is that poor posture all but guarantees back problems.
Good posture on the other hand promotes strong back muscles, the neck is held in a better posture, and the muscles and spine overall suffer much less stress.
When your body is held in a bad posture the muscles have to work harder to hold everything in place which causes strain.
Observe yourself in the mirror and notice how your posture is.
If you are standing straight you should be able to see an imaginary line from your ear lobe all the way down through your shoulders, hips knees, and your ankles.
Can you make this straight line? Many people can't.
We inherently spend a lot of our times sleeping and sitting.
Sleeping should only be done on a firm mattress.
A soft mattress, no matter how much you may like one, does not support you enough.
If you have a soft mattress you don't necessarily have to replace it.
Instead purchase a plywood board that is a half an inch to three quarters of an inch thick and place it under the mattress.
This will improve the firmness of what you will be sleeping on substantially and help support your back much better.
Those who have jobs that require them to site a lot must also do things to improve their posture.
Sit straight in your chair, use a pillow or rolled up towel to add extra support for your back.
Specially designed chairs are great but truthfully the stretching will be better for you.
Human beings weren't meant to be sedentary creatures.
Convenience and technology have made us this way.
We sit too much and exercise too little.
In order to permanently relieve your back pain and improve your overall health, you should bring yourself to the point where you naturally maintain a good posture.
This way you don't have to constantly catch yourself in bad posture and correct it.
As time goes by and you get older, a good natural posture, or lack thereof, will have a profound impact on how you move, what aches and pains you have to deal with, and how active your senior life will be.
Take steps now to make sure your steps in later years will be active and pain free.
