How Lifelong Health Problems Can Be Due To Sitting The Wrong Way

We spend most our waking hours sitting down. Think about it - we sit at the breakfast table, while commuting back and forth, while at the office even when we wind down in front of the TV after work. We basically sit our way through daily life.

Well, there will be big problems associated with that. While sitting down takes a lot of weight off our feet, our abdominal and back muscles are stressed due to the lack of support our bodies are getting. Poor sitting posture can lead to several lifelong health problems aside from the usual backaches and stiff necks.

How?

Basically, sitting the wrong way (leaning too far forward or back) causes our abdominal and back muscles to tense and become inactive. when this happens, our body becomes imbalanced because these muscles are the ones that keep our body in balance. Weak muscles in these areas may lead to several serious health concerns.

When these muscles are not functioning properly, other muscles in the body take over to compensate. These muscles include the ones used for breathing - usually the diaphragm muscles - which leads to inefficient breathing. This then leads to our bodies being starved for oxygen.

Also, incorrect sitting posture causes the neck muscles to tighten up, and with that, other muscles connected to it (including the jaw and throat muscles) also tighten. This causes tension and blockages in the veins that transport oxygen-rich blood to the brain.

If you've been reading my blog for a long time, you'll know what lack of oxygen can lead to.

Fibromyalgia, which the medical world currently doesn't have a known cause or cure for, is actually caused by a shortage of oxygen in the muscles.

Headaches and migraines are caused by the lack of oxygen reaching the tissues and muscles around the head.

The brain will have insufficient oxygen because of the tension in the neck, and often supports your head in an askew way. This, I've found out, is the number one cause of vertigo and dizziness - it basically comes from the imbalance that happens between your eyes and ears.

Hypertension, TMJ, snoring, sleep apnes, obesity...and many more. Usually, one of these illnesses are causing many of the others, continuing a vicious cycle.

All because of sitting the wrong way!

Correct posture can help you avoid all these illnesses. Many of my programs offer solutions on curing these diseases through simple exercises that put the body back in balance, removing the negative effects of the numerous times that you sat the wrong way all these years.
