 Remember when your mother used to tell you to stand up straight and you thought she was looking for any excuse to bug you? Turns out she may have actually helped you. Good posture can prevent aches and pains. Sitting up straight is also known to reduce stress. Practice every day. Maybe set your alarm on your phone to remind you to sit up straight till it becomes a habit. One other suggestion, try walking with your shoulders back and your head held high for a great confidence boost because your health matters. I'm Big Sue on the Black Information Network.
