Please note when you see this: Don’t cross your legs!

In the previous article when I was explaining cervical spondylosis to everyone, I mentioned the problem of sitting posture. A friend asked me what the consequences of frequently crossing one’s legs are. My friend said that he knew it was a wrong sitting posture, but he didn’t know what the consequences were. He always crossed his legs out of habit and wanted to know what the specific consequences would be. So I will explain to you the disadvantages of crossing your legs!

Impact on the spine: Sitting with legs crossed for a long time will cause spinal deformation, resulting in uneven pressure on the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, which can easily lead to uneven shoulders. In the long run, it may compress the nerves and in severe cases lead to hemiplegia.

Impact on the lumbar spine: If you keep the habit of crossing your legs for a long time, it will seriously aggravate and cause diseases such as lumbar disc herniation, cervical spondylosis, and lumbar muscle strain. The influence of this bad daily habit cannot be ignored.

Impact on the pelvis: Crossing your legs can cause excessive twisting and stretching of the muscles around the pelvis, putting the pelvis in an unbalanced state. Long-term imbalance and uneven force can destroy the stability of the spine, leading to low back pain and neck pain.

It is easy to cause O-shaped or X-shaped legs: when crossing your legs, the raised leg will shift inward due to uneven force, causing wear and tear on the knee joint. The leg that uses more strength will become deformed due to long-term twisting. The lack of blood circulation will make it easier for thigh fat to accumulate, resulting in O-shaped legs, X-shaped legs, or even longer and shorter legs.

After reading the above content, do you understand? Let me say one more thing, because when you cross your legs, the temperature around the genitals rises, which will affect fertility in the long run~
