5 Major health issues due to Bad sitting posture

1. Spine bend

The three main curves of a properly aligned spine form an ‘S’ shape. Over time, poor posture can cause these natural curves to change shape, putting an excessive amount of pressure in the wrong position. Our spines are built to absorb shock, but bad posture can slowly deteriorate this natural ability, putting your body at risk for more serious injury in the future which may result into tingling or numbness in the back, arms, or legs, muscle spasms, bladder or bowel issues etc.

2. Back pain

One of the most commonly known side effects of poor posture is an unwanted strain on your upper and lower back. Stooping forward puts pressure between your shoulder blades and causes you to flatten your back muscles. If you notice pain below the neck and around your tailbone after a long day at work, you are likely not sitting up straight.

3. Neck pain & headaches

Poor posture puts pressure on your posterior muscles, which has a negative impact on your neck. Whether your shoulders are bent forward or your head is aimed downward, the strain put on your neck by the tightness of these muscles can lead to tension headaches.

4. Poor sleep

Deficient posture can put your entire system of muscles in a compromising position. If you are unable to fully relax your body at night, you may find yourself tossing and turning to find a comfortable position for your neck and back, which can lead to hours of lost sleep.

5. Disrupted digestion

If you have an office job that requires you to stay at a desk most of the day, sitting with bad posture can lead to digestive issues. Neglecting to pay attention to your posture can compress your organs, which can slow the digestive process and cause stomach issues.

How to avoid spine, back pain & other issues:
