Sit, Stand and Walk Tall for Health!
Humans – from head to feet – are built to stand, sit and walk erect. Now that we have reviewed the way your breathing apparatus operates, you can readily understand how correct posture is essential to correct breathing. When you slump, you squeeze your lungs and other organs into a cramped position that seriously limits the operation of your diaphragm. You become a shallow breather, able to use only the top portion of your lungs.

Don’t Cross Your Legs – It’s Unhealthy
When you sit, keep your torso in the same position. Sit on your hips, with your feet flat on the floor or with ankles lightly crossed. You can work for hours at your desk in this position without fatigue, but it’s best to stop hourly for a good body stretch. Stand, stretch your spine up and do some shoulder rolls forward, then backwards. Then for energy do some arm-wide swinging windmills. Also take frequent brisk walks, maintaining healthy posture with your arms swinging naturally in rhythm with your stride.
