Good Posture for Good Health
The human body is just like a concrete structure. The latter has scaffolding, not purely cement to keep it erect and stable. The former on the other hand is blessed to have strong bones to keep stability and endurance. Yet, these strong bones depend so much on one’s good posture.
While the human body is a being, he is capable of motion. That is movements which keeps the entire system healthy and maintain equilibrium in all aspects. Every movement promotes the exchange of fluids around each inter vertebral discs, transfer of blood through capillaries, and the exchange of oxygen to muscles.
In the event that the body becomes immobile for long periods of time, easy fatigue ability develops. This happens because the exchange of oxygen to muscles is decreased. This scenario is more usual in the work place, commonly in sitting position.
At times when work is jam-packed, too many to accomplish, overwhelming goals to attain, preserving your posture will be at the lowest in the list. Consequently, one tends to slouch or slump not knowing that the more stoop you get, the greater is the pressure you put on the spinal column and the more work the trunk, neck and shoulder muscular systems have to do to maintain the posture. The main concern about poor posture especially while seated is the performance of an employee; this is so because through slouching, the body becomes exhausted earlier developing tiredness and inefficiency.
Luckily, there are office chairs designed where in dynamic support can be provided through an under seat tilting mechanism. This allows the seat and back of an office chair to adjust according to the movement of the user. This also reduces strain on the spinal structural muscles, using less energy to retain the seated position and enabling us to stay in one position for longer periods of time without becoming tired. Thus, a dynamic posture can be adopted while body support is maintained.
