The way in which you sit while studying can have many bad effects to your health, especially if your posture is poor. It is very important to be mindful of the ways in which we are sitting, and where we may be holding onto tension or stress. If you can notice the poor posture techniques that you have, you can then attempt to fix them and potentially get rid of the bad effects. Here are some of the bad effects that your poor posture has on your health:
Headaches
When we sit with slouch it puts extra stress on the muscles in our neck. This can lead to muscle tightness, leading to a nagging headaches.
Sleep Problems
Being in line, is vital to relaxing and getting comfortable.
Workout Recovery Issues
When we workout we put extra stress on our muscles, leading to soreness. If we sit with poor posture the muscles still have excess stress, causing them to stay inflamed.
Lower Back Pain
The way in which your upper body is situated will affect other areas and cause pain even if it’s not a close area in proximity. If you slouch your shoulders forward it causes your back to flatten out, which will lead to pain down the road.
Poor Digestion
If you slouch you increase the pressure on your internal organs, leading to a decrease in their abilities to digest.
Poor Mood
If you slouch you have a increased chance of being in a bad mood. This is simply because having good posture can change your mood.
There are some pretty significant reasons why we should all aim to correct our posture. It is unlikely that we will all always have good posture, but simply recognizing when you are slouched over and quickly fixing it is a good habit to create for yourself.
