Here’s Why Proper Posture When Sitting is Important
Are you the type of person who sits at a desk, hour after hour, one day after the next? While you may enjoy your job in front of a computer, there’s something to remember: it can take a toll on your health.
Proper posture when sitting is an absolute must. If you overlook this, it could lead to pain and discomfort that you don’t want to experience.
Here are five reasons why you should dedicate more time to proper posture when sitting:
· It keeps your joints and bones in alignment, which takes stress off your body
· It decreases the level of stress on ligaments in your back and neck
· It prevents the spine from staying in an abnormal position for an extended period of time
· It prevents fatigue in your back and neck, since your muscles are being used in a more efficient manner
· It provides a better overall appearance, both when sitting and after standing up
If your health and well being is important to you – and it should be – pay close attention to your posture when sitting at your desk.
As you do this, you may find you can make some changes for the better. Not only will you begin to feel better, but you reduce the likelihood of a long term health concern.
