Watch Your Health
Its important that we be as healthy as we can. And, to keep healthy there are always a few simple things we can do ourselves with a little effort.

One thing we can do is watch our posture. Many times we experience pain, stiffness and discomfort because of the way we sit, stand or lye down. Here are a few tips.

  • When sitting or standing make sure your shoulders are squared off and and not coming forward.
  • When sitting or standing make sure your head is held high and not leaning forward.
  • Don't let the hips lean forward or backwards. Keep the torso straight with a slight forward curve in the lower back.
  • When lying down either sleep on your back or on your side. Never sleep on your stomach.
If you are having pain in your upper or lower back or your shoulders. Or, if you are having headaches, review the above information, improve your posture and some of these problems may go away on their own
