Vishnupriya Why Posture is important
Table of Contents
The alignment of different parts of the body to gravity is called “posture”.
We know that when we stand, walk, or lie down, whatever our position or position, we cannot change the force of gravity on the earth. Even though we may never be aware of it, gravity is affecting everything in the world; Its effect is necessary in our activities.
Our body’s muscle power (Muscle Power) is expended in limiting or counterbalancing the force of gravity. It is because of this ability of the muscles that we can get out of bed and stand up straight.
Suppose that, while standing, we relax all the muscles of our body; what will happen Gravity pulls fast, “Let’s all fall to the ground, that’s all.”
When we stand, our feet act as our feet. The entire weight of the body is supported by these tendons. How do these plants stay strong and stable without collapsing under the weight? The muscles of the thighs and legs contract and expand to keep them strong and stable. If you start to slouch to the right when standing, the muscles on the left side work to straighten the body; If the left side slips, the muscles on the right side work to correct. Therefore, as long as the muscles in the back are functioning properly, there is no disturbance.
Similarly, the back muscles, located on either side of the spine, at the back of the body, play a major role in keeping the body upright by working against gravity… They are called the “gravity muscles”. Even when the muscles are working, the body does not straighten and collapses forward.
Apart from these, the shoulder, arm, and neck muscles also help in maintaining a balanced body posture.
Important Factors of Correct Posture
Thus, “posture” is to compensate for gravity and maintain an upright position without collapsing under the pull of gravity: That is.
Three factors determine one’s posture.
a) Body structure b) Obesity c) Habits
A person with a large and heavy build will have a different posture than someone small and delicate; Similarly, an obese person has a different posture than a thin person. Rather than these, rather than the difference they make, it is one’s habits that make the most changes! Some are accustomed to relaxing their muscles at once and sagging; Otherwise, some exercise their muscles properly and stand upright and move gently.
Correct posture
Posture is very important for one’s physical and mental health.
One’s looks, personality, and posture have a direct correlation.
Posture affects the various movements and functions of the body.
Slender, deep, with an upright posture, he looks confident and bold. By him to others. Believable. Those who see his lively yet calm demeanor and brisk activities are impressed by him; They love him; They respect
Likewise, posture is a reflection of body movements; And the digestive organs and respiratory system are also severely affected.
Circulatory System
The circulatory system is also affected to some extent. He shrugs his shoulders and collapses the organs within his chest indiscriminately. In particular, the lungs suffer from insufficient space; Without enough freedom for them to contract and expand, the blood flow to certain areas may decrease and the lungs may become stiff. Due to this, diseases can easily attack these lungs. He who stands or sits with his shoulders back, erect, and without arching his spine, is not merely an outward beauty; One who gives comfort and opportunity for air to pass fully into his lungs; He is the one who causes them to fully contract and expand.
A person with good posture and good muscle tone has a well-functioning digestive system. The food consumed is scattered throughout the digestive tract. It passes unhindered through the stomach and intestines without retention. If the posture is wrong, the digestive organs and their movements slow down To achieve good posture, one can practice certain techniques (ie, keeping the head straight, keeping the feet straight, straightening the back, balancing the body) by reminding oneself. But they are not enough. Health should also cooperate.
A healthy and prosperous person is likely to walk with strong strides, straight shoulders, and a high head. But can a crippled person? You know the answer.
A person who uses his muscles correctly and holds them firmly will keep his body straight. Could it be caused by a person whose muscles have lost elasticity and become weak? A few habits to improve posture
The biggest pitfall most people face in maintaining good posture is wearing the wrong shoes. High-heeled shoes, which women like to wear as a fashion, can upset one’s balance.
If we recall some basic physics, if a weighted instrument is pulled forward by one factor and pulled back by another to correct it, the center of gravity will be in the middle. When you wear running shoes, the center of gravity shifts; To correct it again, the body has to take unusual postures. It puts more strain on the muscles and spoils the health.
Not just jogger shoes, but very tight shoes, tight clothes, which don’t fit the body normally. Shapewear, improper chair settings, etc. affect posture in the same way.
Postural defects in middle age
As we approach middle age, the two factors that contribute to poor posture may appear less so. One, rounded shoulders, another, sagging belly.
What can be done to avoid posture problems? Not just middle age; Here’s what everyone can do:–
1.When standing…feet. parallel to each other, but six inches apart.
2.Head straight, look up…. some book on the head.
3.Like keeping it from falling.
4. Chest wide, protruding; Intermittent, abdominal firmness (but not tight); Mainly
5.The stomach should not sag.
6.Body weight falls parallel on both feet; (bearing weight on one foot or leg, without lifting or leaning on the other)
7. Knee joints without stiffness. Stomach and back as flat as possible.
8.While sitting…
Lean the back of the chair so that it touches the hips; The feet will be flat on the ground. in terms of;
9. Back straight and erect; . As if leaning forward from the hips when writing while sitting; (Neck
only, face only without leaning forward)
. Chest wide and exposed; – Neck and upper back in the same vertical plane.
When it happens…
– toes straight; By the knee: freely by the ankle,
1. Feet close together;
-Swing the legs from the hip joints – Lift the feet off the floor; (without rubbing as such). Head and chest straight;
2. Shoulders free; (without tension)
Heels touch the floor first; (On each step, the jumping foot, then the outer edge of the foot, then the toes should land on the floor.)
