Three Functions of Good Posture in Life

1, good posture is an efficient way to use your body.

Any human behavior will consume energy. Whether we are sitting, standing or lying down, as long as we are alive, the muscles used to maintain posture, breathing, blood circulation and other functions continue to work.

However, different actions consume different energy. In daily life, our posture is controlled by our subconscious mind. In order to better conserve energy to complete conscious actions and respond to emergencies, the less energy used to maintain posture, the better.

Therefore, efficiency is an important indicator of good physical use, and effective physical use means that ongoing physical activities are completed with minimal effort or pressure. With good posture, we don't need extra efforts to keep stability and balance against gravity.

2. Good posture can keep exercising.

When we talk about posture, many people subconsciously think it is a static posture. In fact, posture includes static and dynamic. In most of our movements, it involves the constant change between different postures. The second function of good posture is to keep this change happening.

Because in a good posture, there are many muscles involved in posture and movements, which may include more than 90% muscles of the whole body. These muscles form a good interaction and do not need to rely too much on and use some muscles. In this case, the muscles are not easy to get tired, and they can keep good posture and movements for a longer time.

3. Good posture prepares for the next exercise.

The third function of good posture is to allow easy and quick transition to the next action. For example, starting from standing still, walking or running, waiting for catching the ball on the basketball court and waiting for the appearance in the stage rest area, just like a predator waiting for its prey in the grass. If you can't attack immediately after you find your prey, but adjust your posture first, then you are likely to miss the fleeting opportunity.

When we sit in front of the computer in a bad posture, with our heads leaning forward, our backs hunched and our shoulders rounded, we can't stand up directly, but we should adjust our posture first, so as to keep balance and flexibility in the process of standing up. Can you turn your head forward? Maybe you will say yes, but it will probably oppress your cervical spine.

Of course, our current lifestyle does not require us to always be ready for the next exercise. After all, we may sit all day. But our bodies are not designed for this lifestyle. In the long history of human evolution, we need to prepare for the next move most of the time. This is what our bodies are designed to look like.
