Essentrics Benefits - Posture
from Essentrics Class of 2012 DVD
The Essentrics program recognizes the essential importance of and pays special attention to posture. Poor posture does not improve with age unless we become proactive and consciously make the change. Good posture needs regular maintenance.
Poor posture presents myriad problems. Chronic slouching causes the rib cage to collapse forward and restricts the expansion of the lungs, which decreases energy. Lungs need space to expand and breathe. Restricting the degree of fresh air inhaled means there will be less energy for two reasons: lack of oxygen from reduced inhalation and an inability to fully expel toxins from reduced exhalation.
