Does Poor Posture Cause Back Pain?
October 24, 2022 · 7:00 AM
No, according to these three credentialed experts at The Conversations. A snippet:
There is a common belief that “good” posture is important to protect the spine from damage, as well as preventing and treating back pain. Good posture is commonly defined as sitting “upright”, standing “tall and aligned”, and lifting with a squat technique and “straight back”.
alternatively, “slump” sitting, “slouch” standing and lifting with a “round back” or stooped posture are frequently warned against. This view is widely held by people with and without back pain,

Are Baked Fries Really Healthy?
