On this World Health Day, I would like to put a glimpse on a word that is- Posture.
In this era full of technology people are spending hours sitting on a chair working in front of screen which is unknowingly putting excess pressure towards the spine which ultimately leads to poor posture that results in severe health hazards.
So here are a few tips for all of my friends who work for hours sitting at one place.
1. Keep moving yourself on between work to avoid continuous pressure on the spine.
2. Mild stretching of neck and back during the break time.
3. If possible cushion your seat well to avoid that excess pressure.
4. Keep yourself well hydrated.
Even the kids went through a tough time past 2 years,
so here are a few tips for our future generation’s general health:
1. Practice meditation for 5 mins daily with your kid to relieve the stress from their body and mind.
2. Take a walk in the park with your kids (bare foot) and ask them to look at the green grass which will soothe their eyes.
3. Give them diet rich in calcium for healthy bones and spine.
4. Most important maintain proper hydration through out the day.
5. Reduce their screen time and check their posture while they watch.
