Can Your Clothes Be The Answer To Your Posture Problems
Research tells us that in an average persons lifetime, they will spend a total of 36 years sitting. Basic anatomy shows that humans did not evolve to be sitting creatures; as a result our bodies arent equipped for this kind of sedentary lifestyle. This is why eighty percent of Americans will suffer from back pain at some point in their lives.
The U.S. Department of Health says one way to minimize the health problems of sitting for too long is to correct poor posture. Easier said than done, especially when our lives require us to; drive, sit at a desk, and spend many hours on a computer. In order to sit in the correct way, you would be sitting at a 110-degree angle between your legs and spine, with your bottom pushed well into the back of the seat and your back, legs and bottom in contact with the chair.
