Three Ways you can improve your posture

 

"Even if you're careful, you'll become a stoop before you know it " Three Ways you can improve your posture "

Disadvantages other than the appearance of the stoop

It may be an easy-to-understand demerit of a stoop, such as a stooped or depressed posture that looks dull and looks older than the actual age, but it is necessary to pay attention to effects other than appearance.

◆ It becomes difficult to breathe When your back is rounded, your lungs are compressed and it becomes more difficult to breathe than when you are in a good posture. As less oxygen is taken up by the blood, your head may become dull and weak during work, and your body may become tired more easily.

◆ Headache and stiff shoulders Causes headaches and stiff shoulders to occur due to stiff neck and chest muscles. If the stoop continues, it will become chronic.

◆ Effects on internal organs When the front of the body (chest and abdomen) shrinks, the internal organs are compressed, which puts a strain on the gastrointestinal tract and may affect digestive function.

Disadvantages other than the appearance of the stoop

It may be an easy-to-understand demerit of a stoop, such as a stooped or depressed posture that looks dull and looks older than the actual age, but it is necessary to pay attention to effects other than appearance.

It becomes difficult to breathe

If your back is rounded, your lungs will be compressed and it will be harder to breathe than when you are in good posture. As less oxygen is taken up by the blood, your head may become dull and weak during work, and your body may become tired more easily.

Headache and stiff shoulders

It causes the muscles around the neck and chest to become stiff, making headaches and stiff shoulders more likely to occur. If the stoop continues, it will become chronic.

Effects on internal organs

The contraction of the front of the body (chest and abdomen) compresses the internal organs, straining the gastrointestinal tract and may affect digestive function.

30 seconds! If you loosen the part with the face, you will be able to bend forward! 

I'm not good at stretching in the first place. For those who say, there are many people who think that it is okay to be hard. But wait a minute! If you don't use muscles, not only will they weaken, but they will also lose their elasticity and become stiff. 

When the muscles become stiff, the capillaries stretched throughout the body are compressed and blood circulation deteriorates. Then, the muscles become deficient in oxygen and nutrition, and the fatigue substances cannot be removed and become harder. 

It is one of the muscles that you want to loosen for your health because it leads to chronic illness, deterioration of all body functions such as immunity and metabolism, and negative spirals such as the cause of coldness and swelling.

The body is connected

The painful part and the cause may be in different parts. I think you've heard it once, but the reason is that your body is connected. Of course,hamstrings that you want to be soft when you bend forward are no exception. In fact, the forehead is closely related to the hamstrings . 

The two distant places are in a deep relationship that interacts with each other. The keyword to solve the secret is " Anatomy Train " Have you ever heard this word?

Anatomy train

The anatomy train is called the myofascial meridian , which shows the connection between muscles and fascia, and Thomas W. Myers, who gives lectures and practical guidance on integrated bodywork around the world. It is a theory by Mr. According to the theory, the human body has 12 lines, one of which, the superficial back line (SBL) , starts near the bone above the eye (supraorbital ridge). 

It is thought to be connected to the forehead, head, back, soles of the thighs, and soles of the feet. Being connected means that if something is solidified, other places will be affected, and conversely, if you loosen somewhere, other places that are connected will also be loosened.
