Going through life with a straight back doesn’t only make you more attractive and confident, it also prevents all kinds of nasty complaints. Let me list all the benefits of a good posture for you!
- Less back and neck pain
If your shoulders hang forward or if you walk slightly bent forward, you’ll strain your back and neck. Even the blood supply to certain muscle groups weakens. So, stand or sit upright and spare yourself aches and pains that can get worse over the course of your life.
2. Improved digestion
If you sit slumped, your intestines and stomach will have less space to ensure proper digestion. It’s, therefore, very important to maintain a good posture for a healthy digestive system.
3. A happier life
People who are a bit gloomy tend to hang their shoulders. If you adjust your attitude, you’ll give yourself a mood boost, even on bad days. So, let your body control how you feel, instead of the other way around.
4. Better blood circulation
Good blood flow ensures that your body receives oxygen and nutrients. You can optimise that blood flow by standing and sitting upright.
5. More energy
If you have a bad posture, it’ll affect your energy level, resulting in fatigue. Make sure you go through life with a straight back and you’ll see that you’re bursting with energy.

My friend commited because of it. I never forget them and most things I do are in honour of them because I know they would want me to go on.

That’s very brave. I once heard someone say: it’d be as brave to live as it were to die. I live by that

I miss them. Truly I do. But I fear I will forget about them. I dedicated my life to do all the things we would do on my own.

I donβt know what else to say about this post? Oh yeah I remember the time I fell down the stairs and I thought I broke my back. Scared the living hell out of me so now Iβm always careful on stairs. My parents picked me up and told me to walk it off as if I just didnβt fall down the stairs. Taught me something that day. Even those we love donβt always act like loving people.

I donβt know what that has to do with bad back posture but I felt like telling you this because nobody else seems interested in my stories.

Oh yeah another time my parents said I had to pay Β£100/Β£200 a month rent just to live in my bedroom. Is that even allowed lol?? I mean i looked it up apparently it is normal but I was 16/17 when they asked me I didnβt even have a job lol (still donβt) so I was wondering do your parents do that too or is it just mine because I get if itβs for bills and stuff but ya knowβ¦.

No, they don’t. I earn my own money and then buy my own stuff and pay my own bills etc. but they never asked me to pay rent. I sometimes lend them money, but they always gave it back

A harness? For your back? I heard they exist but never saw one or used one

Yes, imagine a backpack but it just has a small area the arm straps focus on and apply pressure to, generally in the thoracic region where you would need it but you can adjust it somewhat. Itβs also pretty universal as the straps are fully adjustable. Itβs relatively comfortable for something thatβs meant to intentionally stop you from assuming your comfortable position lol. Iβll see if I can find a link but if I recall when I bought it, it wasnβt expensive, definitely under $50.
