Hair Straightening
Sitting: Right now as you are listening or reading this, how is your posture? Reading with the head jutted forward strains the upper back, shoulder and neck. Over time, this posture results in straightening or even reversal of the natural curve in the neck. This common postural problem dramatically increases a persons odds of suffering head and neck pain. Instead of adopting a gooseneck posture while sitting, keep your head aligned with your shoulders, chest out slightly. Avoid crossing you legs except for very short periods. In addition to keeping your feet flat on the floor, it’s important to choose a chair that supports your lower back and lumbar vertebra. This is especially important while sitting long hours at work at a computer. Even with a superior char, remember to take periodic stretch breaks once an hour and drink plenty of water to keep spinal cartilage hydrated. While driving, adjust the car seat to 120 degrees. This positions the spine for the least stress.
