Be careful of waist aging before aging! These postures are the most harmful to waist...

Sitting for a long day at work and lying down like Ge You after get off work. Nowadays, more and more young people suffer from back problems.

The age is sunrise, the waist is old. People don’t get old yet, but their waist is already damaged.

Then why does his waist become weak at such a young age?

Although some postures are comfortable to do, they are particularly harmful to the waist. The more comfortable the posture is, the more harmful it may be. For example, Ge You's pose and crossing your legs often damage the waist invisibly.

01

Cross your legs

This action can be said to be an unconscious action of many people. They will cross their legs as soon as they sit down.

So how does it hurt your waist? Take a look at the following pictures.

The spine in a normal sitting position↓ The spine when crossing legs↓

It is obvious from the picture that the spine is bent and the pelvis is tilted. If this posture is maintained for a long time, it will lead to uneven pressure distribution between the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae, causing lumbar muscle strain and even lumbar disc herniation.

At the same time, in order to maintain body balance, the spine will compensate by tilting left and right, leading to scoliosis.

This is just the damage that crossing your legs does to the spine. The damage is much more than that.

✔Crossing your legs will compress blood vessels and affect blood circulation, thereby causing lower limb muscle strain and varicose veins, etc. It is especially unfriendly to people who already have varicose veins or edema.

✔If women often cross their legs, the temperature of their vulva will increase, secretions will increase, and they will be more susceptible to gynecological diseases.

✔When men cross their legs, it affects the heat dissipation of the testicles, causing the local temperature to increase, which is not conducive to sperm production.

Ge You Paralysis

This is the most comfortable posture for relaxation, no doubt about it!

However, this posture directly changes the normal physiological curvature of the lumbar spine. The lumbar spine is under pressure, and the ligaments and muscles are subjected to greater tension in order to maintain the stability of the lumbar spine. Over time, the lumbar muscles will be strained, and in severe cases, lumbar disc herniation will occur.

03

Being sedentary

When you sit in front of the computer, I believe that few of you sit upright. Most of you sit with your back hunched and your head buried in the computer.

This posture will cause the strength of the entire upper body to be placed on the lumbar spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments. Over time, it will cause back pain, and lumbar muscle strain and lumbar disc herniation may also follow.

04

Bend at the waist without bending your legs when lifting heavy objects

Many people lift heavy objects in this posture↓

When you carry something with your back hunched and your waist bent, your head will be lower than your hips, and you have to rely entirely on the strength of your waist to hold it up. If you are not careful, you will sprain your waist.

Because this posture of bending the waist with straight knees is very damaging to the waist. If the weight is 20KG, in this posture, it may be as heavy as lifting a 30KG weight for the waist.

Therefore, many fitness experts who lift weights in the gym must pay attention to the standardization of their movements, so as to avoid building muscles but hurting their waists.

The correct posture can refer to the following actions↓↓

05

Wear high heels

Putting on high heels will directly cause the center of gravity of the human body to shift forward, which will inevitably cause the pelvis to tilt forward, the spinal curvature to increase, and the force on the lumbar spine to become concentrated. If this continues for a long time, it will easily damage the intervertebral disc.

Therefore, the above postures and situations should be avoided if possible, and should not be avoided if possible. Don't ruin your old waist for the sake of temporary comfort.

In addition to reminding yourself to "sit properly and stand properly" at all times, you should also protect your waist in daily life.

Strengthening back muscle exercises

Strong back and waist muscle strength can effectively prevent and relieve low back pain symptoms. Common exercises include swimming, backward walking, hip bridge exercise, small swallow flying exercise, plank support, pull-ups, etc.

Choose harder daily necessities

Chair seat cushions, back cushions, mattresses and the like should be made of hard materials, so that they will have better stability and support, and will not tilt due to the pressure of body weight.

Avoid prolonged sitting

It is recommended that office workers exercise for 10 minutes every hour. This can be done by walking, bending over, or turning the waist. Regular exercise is important.

In addition, when you have time, you might as well do some lumbar exercises to reduce the weight load on your waist and make your waist more "younger".

Comrades, get moving, don't let your waist become weak before you get old at such a young age~
