In addition to congenital and some bad habits, bad posture also has a lot to do with weak muscle strength. As the saying goes, "sitting standing", having a good posture not only looks elegant, but also does a lot of good to your health. The American "Electronic Health Network" recently pointed out that sitting up straight, standing up straight, not hunching back, not holding out your chest ... only by developing the correct posture can you bring you health from the inside out. In daily life, 12 posture is harmful to health, please pay attention!
1. I fell asleep on the phone or on the sofa for a long time.
One thing we often do is to hang the phone around our neck and make a phone call, because it is convenient and allows us to do other things. But this has a great influence on our neck muscles, which will easily lead to our neck injury, so we still use this method less. Similarly, sometimes when we sleep on our side, it will also cause damage to our lumbar spine.
2. Bow down and play with computers and mobile phones for a long time.
This typical ape-man posture will make shoulders and neck too tight, backache and waist burden heavy. Li Jian, an attending physician in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of Taipei Zhenxing Hospital, suggested that when playing computer, sit your hips to the end, put your back flat on the chair, and put your feet flat on the ground. When your body needs to lean forward, keep your back straight. It is best to have a support for your mouse hand to avoid excessive pressure on your shoulders and don't put your computer too low.
3. Turn your head or twist your waist instantly
It is easy to twist your neck or flash to your waist. Xu, dean of Taihe Rehabilitation Clinic, stressed that when someone suddenly calls you, don't turn your head to respond at this time, so as not to put pressure on the cervical spine and get hurt easily. "Turn your whole body together." Li said, you should use your feet to drive and move the chair that rotates with your body.
4. When sitting, lean forward or hang back.
Many people like to lean on the sofa or bend forward when sitting, and these bad sitting postures will cause a great burden on the lumbar spine. It is recommended to sit your hips to the bottom, with your back flat on the back of the chair, or use a waist pad and your feet flat on the ground.
Step 5: Bend over and walk.
When hunched over, the body will protrude outward to maintain balance. Judy, the author of Anatomy of Healing Yoga, said: "Many middle-aged people are hunchbacked and bulging. At this time, the strength of the upper body will press on the lumbar spine, which will easily lead to backache, long bone spur or slippage in the long run.
6. Take (or trim) things from a height.
Some people need to look up for a long time at work, such as painting the ceiling, so that the income of the neck is in a backward state, which will bring huge burden to the neck and damage to the lumbar spine. So I suggest you don't lift your neck for a long time, and you'd better find a higher chair.
7.90-degree bend to move things
Never bend down to move something at a 90-degree angle to the ground, which will easily sprain your waist. Rehabilitation doctor Xu said that when moving, both sides of the body must be stressed at the same time. Before getting up, it is recommended to contract the lower abdomen and lift the anus to make the abdominal structure stronger. When moving things, keep things as close to yourself as possible to avoid injury.
8. Sleep on your stomach
When we want to take a short rest, we often lie prone on the table and sleep for a while, but this puts great pressure on the waist and cervical vertebrae, and even oppresses the nerves, so we try to sleep as little as possible, and it is best to lie on our back.
9. Turn the chair backwards while driving.
The seat is very backward, the foot can step on the accelerator, and the hip slides forward to make the waist empty and unsupported, which makes the lumbar spine bear more pressure. It is suggested to adjust the seat so that the foot can step on the accelerator comfortably and adjust the back of the chair so that the back of the body can be completely attached to the back of the chair.
10. Sit on the bed and read.
Nowadays, many people like reading in bed, which is definitely inconvenient, so people just sit in bed and read. But it's not good for our spine, even it will cause our spine damage for a long time, so I suggest you read less in this way.
1 1. Bend over and put on your shoes
This will put a lot of pressure on the lumbar spine. It is suggested to find a chair to sit down or squat down and wear shoes.
12. Get up too fast
Many people are in a hurry to go to work and bounce out of bed as soon as they get up, which is easy to cause muscle damage. When getting up, it is recommended to turn over, lie to the right or left, then support the upper body with the strength of your hands, then move your feet out of the bed and get up slowly.
