7 routine care that improves body posture

1. Walk (to and fro).

We sit down most of the day and, as much as we know that this is not good for us, we always forget to do it differently. How about trying to move around a little for at least an hour a day? It’s worth going to the bathroom, getting a glass of water or a coffee.

2. Strengthen your muscles.

Our body is very intelligent and if you train it properly when working out, it will not only be stronger to withstand the wrong postures of everyday life, but also more trained to make the muscles position themselves correctly when you are sitting/lying down.

3. Do yoga, pilates or RPG.

Both yoga and pilates bring greater body awareness, in addition to being full of poses that bring more stretching, flexibility and relaxation. And more: it’s delicious!

4. Stretch.

There are several stretches you can do while sitting at your own desk. A simple calf stretch or twist will bring more relief to your body.

5. Sit up straight.

At work, support your lumbar region on the chair, which, in turn, should be at a height that allows for 90° flexion of the hip and knee. Make sure your forearms are resting on the chair or table and never let them hang down. At home, it is worth remembering that the lumbar region should be leaning against it, without sliding down or lying down to watch television.

6. Sleep on your side.

The best way to sleep so as not to harm your body posture is on your side, with a pillow between your legs. It’s also worth lying on your back, with a pillow positioned below your knee, okay?

7. Be careful when typing on your cell phone.

When typing messages (even the very exciting ones in the girls Whatsapp group!), remember to keep your device in line with your eyes at all times. Otherwise, you will be forcing your spine and shoulders forward.
