Some people say that sitting is worse than standing, and lying down is worse than sitting.
In fact, this sentence is not complete. It should be said: It is better to stand with the correct standing posture than to sit with the correct sitting posture; to sit with the correct sitting posture, it is better to lie down with the correct sleeping posture .
Wrong posture will silently change our bone structure and muscle function, affecting our posture in a subtle way.
Today we will talk about these "comfortable" but "toxic" postures!
Ge You lies down: ruins the waist and neck
After a busy day and comes home from get off work, there is nothing more comfortable than "Ge You lies down", but lying like this for a long time will ruin the waist and neck. Because when a person is "lying down", the waist is in the air and has no support, and the gravity of the lumbar spine falls, which affects the lumbar muscle group and causes lumbar muscle strain.
In addition, the pressure on the neck caused by "Ge You Lying" is equivalent to hanging a heavy dumbbell around the neck, which will cause pain .
One-legged rest: save effort but not worry
If we stand for too long, we will involuntarily tilt the center of gravity to one leg, a bit like resting, letting one leg bear more weight and giving it to the other leg Completely decompress.
Although body asymmetry is unavoidable, when the asymmetric difference in left and right load-bearing is too large, it will become power system imbalance.
The burden on the legs bearing more weight is too great. The stress on the pelvis and waist on the same side causes muscle strain. Over time, the imbalance of the left and right muscles of the pelvis will cause pelvic tilt.
One-shoulder backpacks, carrying babies on one side, carrying heavy objects with one hand, etc., will all cause similar problems. In addition to raising your head and chest, the correct standing posture is two words - balance .
Cross your legs: People with low back pain should not do this.
If healthy ordinary people want to feel more comfortable, there is no problem in crossing their legs for a few minutes.
Strictly speaking, there is generally no harm in crossing one's legs. It will neither affect the health of the reproductive system nor aggravate high blood pressure .
However, it is better to cross your legs less than more, because this posture makes the legs and buttocks comfortable, but makes the waist and back uncomfortable.
When crossing one's legs, the person will rotate the pelvis, causing tension in the hip joints , and the muscles on both sides of the body will exert uneven force. If the lower back muscles are left unbalanced for a long time, it is not surprising that you will suffer from back pain.
Therefore, it is better for people with low back pain to cross their legs less often.
Sitting for a long time is not good, but don’t lie down for a long time.
Some friends will wonder: Sitting is not good, and standing is not good, so lying down is always okay, right?
Of course, as long as you don’t hug yourself into a ball or twist yourself into a knot, lying down usually won’t be a big problem.
Although there is not much problem with posture, it is not good for your health.
Life lies in exercise, health lies in not being lazy.
