We’ve all certainly been admonished not to slouch by our mothers or grandmothers, but is it
really that important? It turns out that the response is “yes.” In addition to making you look
sloppy, bad posture can have a severe impact on your health by causing headaches, back
discomfort, and other issues.
You can more easily improve your posture by becoming more conscious of your muscles as a
result of improving your posture. You may even discover some imbalances or tight spots in your
body as you work on your posture and become more conscious of it.
