Some People would like to adapt wrong position and working for long hours, they tend to forget their health negative effects and would like to work continuosly without BREAK.
Are you sitting in wrong posture?
First foremost negative effect of sitting in wrong posture is
1. Spinal Curvature (Bad Back and Inflexible Spine)
The three main curves of a properly aligned spine form an ‘S’ shape. Over time, poor posture can cause these natural curves to change shape, putting an excessive amount of pressure in the wrong position. Our spines are built to absorb shock, but bad posture can slowly deteriorate this natural ability, putting your body at risk for more serious injury in the future.
2. Back Pain / Strained Neck and Khyphosis / Weak Glutes
One of the most commonly known side effects of poor posture is unwanted strain on your upper and lower back. Slouching forward puts pressure between your shoulder blades and causes you to flatten your back muscles. If you notice pain below the neck and around your tailbone after a long day at work, you are likely not sitting up straight.
3. Neck Pain & Headaches ( Less Oxygen to your brain )
Poor posture puts pressure on your posterior muscles, which has a negative impact on your neck. Whether your shoulders are hunched forward or your head is aimed downward, the strain put on your neck by the tightness of these muscles can lead to tension headaches.
4. Poor Sleep (Compressed lungs and heart)
Deficient posture can put your entire system of muscles in a compromising position. If you are unable to fully relax your body at night, you may find yourself tossing and turning to find a comfortable position for your neck and back, which can lead to hours of lost sleep.
5. Disrupted Digestion (Poor blood circulation)
If you have an office job that requires you to stay at a desk most of the day, sitting with bad posture can lead to digestive issues. Neglecting to pay attention to your posture can compress your organs, which can slow the digestive process and cause stomach issues.
6. Lack of Motivation (Tight hip flexor & weak abs)
When you do not sit up straight or stand with your shoulders back, it can also have a negative impact on work ethic. Your focus will be on feeling uncomfortable, rather than the task at hand. Bad posture is also correlated to low self-esteem, per Health Psychology.
