Posture Matters

Posture is how we sit or stand. Good posture means that the whole body should look straight.
Good posture is important for a healthy spine because bad posture can cause serious back problems.

The posture of some kids is getting worse, they don't have straight backs anymore because they're spending too much time with video games, computers, phones, etc. They usually lean forward and hunch over when they use technology so they slouch a lot. It might feel comfortable but it's actually having a bad effect on their spines.

I agree with the statement from the report, "the key message is to limit the amount of time you spend hunched over a keyboard and be active as often as you can".
