5 Ways to Improve Health Through Posture

​HOW DO I IMPROVE MY WELLNESS THROUGH GOOD POSTURE?

1. Strengthen your back muscles
Many of us slump because of underdeveloped back muscles. Simple exercises, a few times a day can improve your strength and flexibility which will improve your posture. Try incorporating Shoulder Rolls, Lunges and Squats into your daily routine.

2. Stand up more
Take regular standing breaks. Your chair could be an ergonomic champion, but standing up will strengthen muscles and encourage better alignment.

3. Adjust your car seat
Make sure that your headrest remains centered near the middle of your head. And ensure that head is positioned 4 inches or less from the seat.

4. Focus on good sleep
A firm mattress can help as well as using fewer pillows. If your mattress is too soft, your back could be contorting unnaturally. And, too many pillows may encourage bad sleeping posture as you move in your sleep.

5. Be a string
Your spine needs to be straight. Act like your spine is a string. Is the string bent? Keep the string straight.
