Everyone looks at themselves in a mirror, and most people look multiple times a day. It could be for a number of reasons: fixing make up, making sure all the toothpaste is wiped away and making sure every hair is in place. But have you ever taken a look at your posture? Are your shoulders pulled forward and hunched, is the neck hanging down and forward, or even pulled back a little? What about your lower back? Is there a large curve or maybe no curve at all?
Maybe you haven't noticed what poor posture does to the body. Slouching the shoulders and the body forward not only causes aches and pains in the neck, shoulders and back, but puts a good amount of pressure on the organs, not allowing them to function properly. When your organs aren't working at full capacity it can lead to constipation or irritable bowel syndrome, and also doesn't allow the lungs to bring as much oxygen into the body and can cause poor circulation. Outwardly, poor posture doesn't allow you to move your feet correctly and may cause falls and other injuries. So why not fix what ails you? Just like creating bad posture, fixing it doesn't happen over night. There are a lot of articles with different exercises and tips and tricks to fix posture, but if you aren't actually doing them or sticking to the regimen, it's almost the same as doing nothing at all. Having good posture has many upsides for you and your health. For example, better posture portrays a more confident image. Looking more confident can help you feel more confident, and when you feel confident, nothing can stop you. On top of that it improves circulation and digestion as well as making you look slimmer and younger! With all the articles and research that is out there for people to look at, there is one method that has been proven not only to be very effective in correcting posture, but also protecting the spine and increasing flexibility to prevent any future injuries.
