If you look around and observe other people’s posture carefully, you may notice
something disturbing. Most adults stand or walk incorrectly, usually without
knowing it. In fact, they may be causing themselves to develop muscle or back
problems in later years. Too many people slouch, with their shoulders hunched and
their chests inwards. It seems they are not aware of the benefits of having good
posture.
When the body is in good balance, a person is able to maintain good posture
with little effort. That is because all the muscles are working together in harmony.
A person whose body is out of balance, on the other hand, will get tired quickly
when exercising or doing strenuous activities. Maintaining good posture prevents
some of the effects of aging on the body. Actually, not much effort is required to
keep good posture and avoid many of the problems with feet, knees, hips, back,
shoulders and the neck that result from bad posture over many years.
By having good posture, you strengthen your body to achieve better health.
Even simply sitting and standing correctly is good for you. It is worth spending
time to learn about methods of good body posture and to recognize the right and
wrong body positions. After a while, you will naturally adopt good posture without
thinking, just as you may have bad posture now. Adding certain exercises, such as
those practiced in yoga or pilates, to your daily routine is the best way to begin
your journey to better health. 【題組】 29. What is the main idea of this passage?
