There is more to bettering health than exercise and eating more fruits and vegetables. Maintaining proper posture (体态) is vital for living a fuller life and avoiding negative health

outcomes.

Understanding good posture starts with the realization that your back doesn’t have to be completely straight, no matter how many times you heard warnings to “sit up straight” in your youth. “Proper posture allows you to distribute (分布) your weight equally, which enables your body to function more effectively with less bone stress and overall decreased damage. It also means plenty or movement. When most people think of posture, they consider fixed positioning. But the best posture guidelines encourage movement whenever possible,” says Drew Schwartz, a preventive medicine specialist.

Maintaining proper posture provides a host of proven physical benefits, including better breathing Schwartz notes that inefficient breathing patterns are related to a slouched (驼背的) posture, because such a position forces the body to rely more on upper-chest breathing. By contrast, belly breathing is more efficient and promotes relaxation pathways within the body. Proper posture can also improve digestion,helping you potentially avoid issues related to heartburn and high blood sugar levels.

Along with such physical advantages, proper posture can also enhance your social life by improving human interactions and connections. “We’ve learned that a person with middle head-level posture is considered to be more cooperative than someone who has their head in an up-or-down position,” says Brook Martin, an associate professor. “Because of this and because posture plays such an important role in body language, good posture can improve communication skills and make you more appealing to others.”

To experience benefits related to proper posture, Martin recommends being aware of how you sit and stand, and practicing doing so correctly often enough that it feels natural. Schwartz stresses the importance of wearing proper footwear, emphasizing that supportive flat and low-heeled shoes can be especially beneficial. “No matter what techniques you follow. improving your posture is an achievable goal,” Martin said.

25．How can proper posture benefit our physical health?

A．Capable and ambitious leaders. B．Easy-going and patient partners.

C．Active and hardworking employees. D．Approachable and popular communicators.
