We never think of how to sit, we just find a chair and either plop down in it, or just sit. While sitting seems quite obvious, there are ways to sit that will allow you to have a healthier body since the human body is not structured to sit in a chair all day! Actually sitting is much harder on the back than when standing because when you stand the blood flow along the spine is unobstructed. When you bend the body at a right angle in sitting, you flatten the lumbar or the lower part of your back.

Sit in a straight chair

Use a correct sitting posture, because it will put less strain on your neck, shoulders and your back. When you sit straight, but comfortable and relaxed,you will find your breathing is better since the spine will pass the weight of you head into the chair, which in turn allows the ribs to move freely.

Tips

When you first start using great posture, you may find it uncomfortable, but after doing so regularly, you will have perfect posture!
