​At healthy eats, we talk a lot about food reactions, and emotions let alone thoughts that drive all of these.  How about our physical habits which, let’s admit are very much habits.  I will admit reading through this list found me thinking to my self, yep, yep, yep, y ep, y e p.  OK, OK, I’ve got it Ive got bad habits around my posture.  Thank you for bring this again to my awareness.   So, for now, for me, it is about monitoring my sitting and movement actions to ensure that I do move enough between activities. Considering I drive for up to 6 hours in a stint to get to work, I really am very guilty of not taking enough care of my body while driving.

Here are 7 actions you should stop doing:

1 Sitting Cross-Legged: causes varicose veins & low back pain
2. Crossing Arms: sends a message of uncertainty & doubt
3. Leaning To One Hip: causes misalignment in hips & glutes
4. Slouching: causes headaches, jaw pain & back pain (sit tall!)
5. Pelvic Tilt: weakens abdominal muscles & causes strain to low back
6. Neck Extension: adds 10-20 lbs of weight to the neck (bring your reading material up to you!)
7. Sleeping with Arms Overhead: creates tension in upper back & shoulders

By correcting these simple body positions, you can have a great impact on your overall healthy. Furthermore, staying conscious of your physical body has an incredible result for your mind!
​SO, how about you, what are your ‘worst’ sitting and working habits that could be shaken up a bit to support your change in habit to change your health choices you are making?  Shoot over to the FB page and share your awareness and action change of choice.
