Improving Your Posture

                                                (Another Quick Health Resource Tip)

Now I know this particular topic is not a nutritious or a physical exercise, but your “POSTURE” can be very important to your health. Did you know that having great posture portrays a more confident image, takes off 3-5 lbs in appearance, eliminates most aches and pains, improves circulation, digestion & breathing, and you look and feel younger. This really helps you throughout life period. I learned that many people take you a lot more serious when you stand tall with your head held high and your back straight. This is great posture! It’s cool how it not only makes you look good, but it’s actually healthy for you too!


As opposed to this there is also bad posture which is slouching, hunching your shoulders over, slumping forward while seated, arching your lower back too much, and carrying a heavy purse or backpack on one side or your body. This can be hazardous to your health maybe not today, or tomorrow, but in the long run. This is where neck and back problems that many people have in the future come from. It’s funny how the little simple everyday life things that we either don’t pay much attention to or take for granted effect us in each and every way.


So your health challenge for the day is to sit up straighter and try to for the rest of the day! Go look at your self in the mirror and I promise, you'll look better and feel better about yourself when your posture is a 10 instead of a 6.5.
