Prevent back strain with good posture
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Follow these simple measures from Health Day News to prevent back strain.
* Sit in chairs with straight backs or low-back support.
* Keep your knees a little higher than your hips.
Adjust the seat or use a low stool to prop your feet on.
* While driving, sit straight and move the seat forward.
* When standing for a long period, rest one foot on a low stool to relieve pressure on your lower back.
* Switch the foot you're resting on the stool every five to 15 minutes.
* Keep your ears, shoulders and hips in a straight line, with your head up and your stomach pulled in.
