Position of a person or thing
It is called Body Posture to the situation or mode in which it is placed, the position it has, whether it is a person or, failing that, a thing.
The spine provides body posture in humans
In the so-called vertebrates, the posture or position of the body is marked by the vertebral column, which is the part of the body of these beings that assumes the function of giving the spatial position.
Thanks to this, that is, thanks to the spine, we have an erect, erect, or hunched posture. It is worth noting that the type of position that a person has will have a lot to do with the genetic inheritance they have, because for example, if in our family there is a history of spinal problems that manifested consecutively through different generations, probably, our children also suffer them and not to mention us too.
These types of problems can be corrected with recurrent physical activities, such as yoga, gymnastics, swimming, among others.
Good posture contributes to the health and aesthetics of a person
So, of these first statements that we were pouring about what posture is and its relevance we must say that having a correct body posture is extremely important for anyone, not only because it will benefit our state of health in general, since we will not have back, waist or neck pain, which a bad posture usually generates, but also from the aesthetic point of view is relevant, since good posture, that is, keeping ourselves correctly upright and straight, will provide a super positive plus to the appearance.
Also the upright and right posture will be essential to have good oxygenation and to avoid digestive discomfort when poor posture triggers the compression of the organs that intervene in our digestion.
Everything we do requires a posture
Most of the activities we do on a daily basis require one or another posture. For example, to take a plate from the kitchen cabinets, if they are above our height, we must stretch to get them, while, if on the contrary, they are below, we must bend down. Likewise, when we are participating in, for example, an event that requires behavior from us, a formal attitude is that then we must keep our body upright and thus dozens of different postures, according to the circumstances.
A person's mood determines posture as well
On the other hand, and although it is not as taken into account as other conditions, the psyche will have a lot to do with determining one posture or another, that is, a good or bad body posture that brings negative consequences on our health, for example.
It is usual for those most determined people in life to present an upright posture, on the other hand, those who manifest a more depressive attitude tend to show a more inclined position in their bodies.
Static and dynamic posture
The so-called static posture is the one that tends to be maintained at a certain moment and the dynamics will be the one that we will adopt to respond to the force of gravity that always tends to unbalance us.
Posture can be corrected with exercise, professional teaching, and using ergonomic furniture
Fortunately, the subject of body posture can be modified and worked through the learning provided by specialists in this subject.
Another of the great keys to achieving a satisfactory body posture is regular physical activity. Physical exercise is always good and for all types of pathology, while poor body posture is not exempt from it.
On the other hand, we cannot ignore the negative effects that working long hours in an incorrect position or on furniture that does not have the minimum ergonomic characteristics often has on our posture.
It is advisable to have a chair between 65 and 75 cm high, and with a space that allows us to stretch our legs on the floor. And if we use a computer, the screen should be at a height corresponding to the eyes and about 50 cm. away.
The ideal posture
The ideal body posture for someone is one that is not exaggerated or in a pose, increasing the curvatures but rather the one that maintains the physical curves of the spine ... Head upright, do not twist the trunk, neutral pelvis and the lower extremities aligned in such a way that the body weight is properly distributed.
