Five common postures that harm women's health: bowing your head and hunching your chest affect your heart and lungs

1. Walk with your head down and your chest tucked in

The fast-paced life makes women rush like the wind all day long, always lowering their heads and rushing forward when walking. In fact, lowering your head and hunching your chest will affect your heart and lungs. It is recommended that you keep your head up and look straight ahead when walking, and let your thighs drive your calves to take "small quick steps", which is beneficial to activating your cardiopulmonary function.

2. Bending over and slumping your back while working

White-collar workers sit in the office for a long time, and when they get tired, they lie down on the computer desk. After a long time, they become hunched over, which affects their beauty and poses a hidden danger to their health. The correct posture is to keep your head and neck upright, your body perpendicular to the ground, and you can lean back in a chair with a reclining back.

3. Think about problems and like to rest your chin on your hand

It is common to see some women who like to hold their chins and think about various problems. The harm of doing so is that it can induce back pain and is very detrimental to the cervical spine. It is recommended that white-collar women get up and walk around when thinking about something, or put their hands on the back of their neck and twist their neck to ensure blood circulation in the brain.

4. Standing crookedly when wearing high heels

Wearing high heels will make your feet more tired. Many women like to tilt their center of gravity to one side when standing, and then switch to the other side when they feel tired. If this continues for a long time, it will cause uneven force on both sides of the lumbar spine, leading to low back pain. The correct posture should be with legs straight, calves and abdomen slightly tightened, center of gravity slightly forward, and eyes looking straight ahead. If you need to stand for a long time, change your center of gravity using the "at ease" movement every 10 minutes.

5. Curl up on the sofa and watch TV

Many women like to curl up on the sofa and eat snacks while watching TV. Little do people know that this posture is extremely harmful to the body, affecting breathing and digestion. It not only squeezes the internal organs but also easily leads to lumbar muscle strain. It is recommended to choose a slightly higher and harder sofa. If the seat is too deep, try placing a cushion behind your lower back.
