   Bad Posture is just the start of your problems

   There is nothing good about bad posture. Take a good look around you. How many people can you spot that have bad posture? What goes through your mind when you see this? Bad posture is not attractive, but it goes way beyond cosmetics. Bad posture can seriously affect your quality of life. It is important that you tackle bad posture early. The longer you leave it, the more problems you will incur later on. Bad posture can stress your spine and neck and strain the muscles around your vertebrae. The effects of bad posture are many. If you leave it too long, it can amount to something really serious. When you slouch, your head and shoulders are forced forward. This can lead to jaw pain and headaches, shoulder and back pains. If the mechanics of your spine are not aligning properly, it can affect your rib cage, which can damage your heart and lungs, and can also lead to gastrointestinal issues. Bad posture can also lead neck pains, fatigue and even breathing issues. In extreme cases bad posture can even lead to internal organ damage by restricting the blood supply to these areas. Your self confidence can also be affected by bad posture. People who walk straighter and sit straighter automatically project authority and confidence. Those who slouch project the opposite image and often end up acting and feeling the way they look. The good news is that bad posture can be fixed. You can try posture exercises, spine and muscle manipulation or using a posture cushion that reverses bad and forward head posture. For more details please visit http://www.posturepal.com/.
