The position is a fundamental part of body language.

When a person adopts a good posture is usually more attractive, slim, and even younger. However, when a person makes a poor posture (shoulders slumped, his back bent forward, her head almost buried in the chest, etc..) Not only cause a bad impression but can even affect your health, and leads to fatigue, pain chronic headaches and to disfigure the body.

In this regard we ask, How do we know if we have bad posture? What positions are appropriate and which not? What advice and tips to improve your position there?

The first step to see if we correct posture is to verify it. For this we must:

Stand up with our backs against the wall. If the head and buttocks touching the wall firmly, his shoulders slightly and only then can move the hand comfortably through the space between your back and the wall, then we have a correct posture. If it does not, is a sign that is leaning backwards.
Walking holding a book on his head. If he can do so without the book slip or fall, you have perfect posture.
With regard to what are the correct postures, we report the following table:

Head and neck:

Right: chin slightly elevated and upright neck. Stretch and relax your back.

Wrong: Chin floor with his head and neck bent. This causes strain and headaches and neck.

Shoulders and upper back area:

Right, shoulders slightly thrown back and not hunched, not rigidity. This would straighten the spine and thorax. Arms relaxed.

Wrong: Shoulders hunched forward and cast which leads to loss of tone and increase discomfort in the shoulder blades.

Back and belly:

Right, thus tightening Pelvis get lengthen and narrow the waist to avoid the rounding of the back.

Wrong: Remove result belly and back arching.

Butt:

Right: Buttocks tight and weight forward until you feel the center of gravity on the axis of the body.

Wrong: Remove the lower back and buttocks overloading causing discomfort, back pain.

Lower Extremities:

Right, knees relaxed and your feet parallel and a foot apart.

Wrong: Kneeling tense and feet close together or resting your weight on one leg which overload the bottom of the back.

Some recommendations to achieve good posture are:

Physical exercise particularly swimming and gymnastics, and that it is beneficial to strengthen the muscles of the back and shoulders, easing the adoption of proper posture.
Avoid long remain seated, as the muscles weaken and suffer to the extent that they can help you maintain good posture if this is due to some type of work, you must do high time to time. For example, to stretch muscles and ease tensions, walk around your table or take advantage of time off to go drink water.
If you are at home, take advantage of favorite television programs to exercise on a stationary bike. Also, try to walk and stretch frequently, since the muscles and ligaments that do not exercise enough contract and end up hurting your position. The most important areas for stretching are: the front of your body (thorax and abdomen),
Check for bad posture due to the furniture and work equipment. In that sense, we can advise the following:
The computer screens should be at eye level.
The tables should not be so low that you have to stoop to practice mind power work.
Pay attention to your chair. There should be neither too high nor too low. If you still have discomfort, pain or fatigue, try to purchase special pillows foam that support the back.
Contemplating the figure in the mirror and thereby correct the poor posture.
It is important that every day, keep in mind their position and not fall into neglect or negligence, you alone are master of its slenderness and a springy step that displays a winning attitude.
