Effects of Bad Posture
Bad posture mainly affects you in these ways:
- Bad posture will increase pressure on your neck, shoulders, and back area, especially on your back. This will lead to muscle pain because of lack of support and make you more vulnerable.
- As your body is constantly bending forward, your lungs will be significantly affected, such as a reduction in breathing efficiency.
- Bad posture will weaken the digestive system, which will make you more likely to get acid reflux and hernia.
- Studies have found that poor posture can increase stress and anxiety, which can lead to depression. This may also cause low self-confidence and low-productivity at work. On the other hand, having a good posture will make you look taller and boost your self-confidence, thus improving your self-esteem.
