Take the receiver. Li, an attending physician in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of Zhenxing Hospital, said that if you put a microphone around your neck to make a phone call, your muscles will contract excessively and your cervical spine will be easily injured. He suggested that it is best to use headphones or loudspeakers. Similarly, if you always sleep on the sofa sideways, it will also accelerate the degeneration of intervertebral discs or joints.
Look down at the computer and play with the mobile phone. Bending forward, hunching back and looking down at the computer, this typical "ape-man posture", will make the shoulder and neck too tight, and the lumbar spine will bear a heavy burden, leading to premature degeneration of the cervical spine and even suffering from disc herniation. When using the computer, it is recommended to keep your back as straight as possible and look down at the computer for about 15 ~ 20 degrees. When playing with your mobile phone, it is recommended to hold it up and try to keep it level with your eyes.
When sitting, lean forward and droop your back. Many people like to recline on the sofa or lean forward when sitting. This bad sitting posture will cause a great burden on the lumbar spine. It is recommended to sit your hips to the end, let your back lie flat on the back of the chair, or use a waist pad and put your feet flat on the ground.
Walk with a hunchback. When you walk or stand hunchbacked, your stomach will bulge out for balance, and then the strength of your upper body will press on your lumbar spine, which will easily lead to backache, long bone spurs or lumbar spondylolisthesis, and your knees will be more prone to aging. It is recommended to wear less high heels and look straight ahead.
Sleep on your stomach. This will increase the pressure on the lumbar and cervical vertebrae. Li Jian suggested that people with back pain or neck pain should not sleep on their stomach, but should lie on their back or side. To choose a pillow with a moderate height, the cervical vertebra should not be suspended, and the mattress should avoid being too soft, otherwise it will not support the spine.
Sit on the bed and read. Many people like to put their heads and backs on the bed, lay their whole legs flat, or sit or lie in bed reading before going to bed. This posture will hurt the spine, pelvis and knees. It is suggested that the reading time before going to bed should not exceed 15 minutes, or change to a posture with one leg bent and the other leg straight, and exchange after a few minutes to avoid stress concentration at one point and muscle fatigue.
These postures are not only unsightly, but also harmful to bone health. Bian Xiao called for being kind to himself and keeping a "beautiful" posture.
