8 razones de tener buena postura

Sus padres tenían razón - ¡La postura es importante!

“Incorpórese derecho!” “No el slouch!” -

Soy seguro que tenemos todo el oído esas palabras de amonestación más de una vez de nuestra madre cuando crecíamos para arriba. Y la mayor parte de begrudgingly nos conformamos con su comando que no tenía ningún concepto del análisis razonado anatómico y biomecánico detrás de su pinchar persistente. ¡De hecho ella no estaba probablemente enterada de todas las implicaciones de la postura pobre misma! Pero de alguna manera, una cierta manera su madre se parecía siempre saber lo más mejor posible.

Piense de él. La primera cosa que usted nota sobre la gente no es sus ojos, no su pelo, para no igualar sus ropas. Es su postura. Y grita mensajes sobre quiénes son. Alguien que está parado erguido emite una aureola del orgullo y de la confianza en sí mismo, mientras que alguien que cae y se inclina miradas como él está avergonzado tomar el espacio.

Con todo las miradas no son la mejor razón de mejorar su postura. La salud es. Qué comienza mientras que simplemente una postura o un carro fea puede conducir a los problemas de salud auténticos si no corregidos.

¿Pero cuál es buena postura de todos modos y porqué es él tan importantes? La postura refiere básicamente a la alineación del cuerpo y a colocación con respecto a la fuerza omnipresente de la gravedad. Si somos que están parados, que se sientan o de mentiras abajo de gravedad ejerce una fuerza en nuestros empalmes, ligamentos y músculos. La buena postura exige el distribuir de la fuerza de la gravedad a través de nuestro cuerpo así que se insiste demasiado en nadie estructura.

Así pues, aquí están ocho más razones de tener una postura sana correcta del `':

1. Retrata una imagen mejor, más confidente.

La buena postura alzará confianza en sí mismo. Intente esto: tome una respiración profunda y esté parado derecho. ¿Usted se siente mejor? ¿Más confidente?

Also look around a crowded dining area or cafeteria some time, and notice how many people are hunched over their meals. Then try to spot someone who’s sitting tall in their seat, raising their fork or spoon to their mouth instead of pitching forward to grab the next bite. Doesn’t that look more elegant? Which person looks poised and confident to you?

2. Breathing becomes easier and deeper.

Try this: sit down and bend over and try to breathe in. Notice how it is harder to breathe. This is an extreme example of how our muscles and tendons get over restricted and cause a lessening of depth and ease in breathing.

People are often asked to sit up straight. This rarely has permanent effect because by the time someone needs to be reminded to do so, their body has adapted to be more comfortable in the slouching position. When they attempt to sit up “straight” they actually tighten the already over-shortened frontal muscles and tendons and this causes restrictions in the ease of breathing volume; tightening these muscles even slightly to make oneself more erect causes tightness in the entire upper body and reduces the ease of deeper breathing.

We intuitively do not like this and soon adjust back to where it was easier to breathe. That is why most people that are advised to sit up straight, remain erect for only a few minutes before reverting to the former slouch where breathing is a little easier. Their breathing is still held back from being fully deep, easy and balanced. For them it becomes easier and more what they have become accustomed to.

Often what we perceive as satisfactory is a lack of adequate understanding.

3. Improves circulation and digestion.

Good posture increases lung capacity, aiding oxygen transport and nutrition around the body. Upright open posture also allows more room in the abdominal cavity, this improves your health by allowing your organs to function more easily.

4. Makes you look slimmer and younger.

When having a good posture you will instantly take off 3-5 lbs in your appearance. It will also make you look slimmer, younger and your clothes will look better.

5. Your voice will sound better.

If you maintain good posture when you speak, and are careful not to let your chest “collapse” as you exhale, your diaphragm will open, making your voice sound better.

6. Help your muscles and joints.

Good posture helps us keep bones and joints in correct alignment so that our muscles are used correctly, decreasing the abnormal wearing of joint surfaces that could result in degenerative arthritis and joint pain. It also reduces the stress on the ligaments holding the spinal joints together, minimizing the likelihood of injury.

A good posture allows muscles to work more efficiently, allowing the body to use less energy and, therefore, preventing muscle fatigue. It also helps prevent muscle strain, overuse disorders, and even back and muscular pain.

7. Change your frame of mind.

Posture also affects your frame of mind and your frame of mind can affect your posture. So, when you are well, feeling happy and on top of things, posture tends to be upright and open. In contrast, people who are depressed and in chronic pain, often sit or stand slumped.

Next time you feel depressed or you’re anxious about something try changing your posture, stand up straight and breath deeply. Good posture in sitting and standing makes it easier to breathe fully and naturally, helping both relaxation and concentration, many Eastern practices such as yoga and tai-chi work on posture.

8. Healthy spine

Correct posture is a simple but very important way to keep the many intricate structures in the back and spine healthy. Back support is especially important for people who spend many hours sitting in an office chair or standing throughout the day.

Not maintaining good posture and adequate back support can add strain to muscles and put stress on the spine. Over time, the stress of poor posture can change the anatomical characteristics of the spine, leading to the possibility of constricted blood vessels and nerves.

To achieve good posture you must make it a habit by keeping your shoulders back, abdomen pulled in, your head lifted and chin parallel to the ground. This won’t be easy if you are not used to it because you will have to build the muscles that keep your body in the correct position. It will take patience and practice. When you make a decision to work on your posture don’t expect it to happen overnight but rest assured it will improve and you will see and feel the difference.

So, what are you waiting for? Start improving your posture right now!
