Beauty tips of the Week: Anti-Aging HACKS Ways to Feel and Look Younger - HACK 010 STOP SLOUCHING Mon had it right: sitting up straight really does pay off. Good posture can make you look thinner (by as much as 5 pounds), and can also help you age better. Posture is actually crucial to everything you do – from breathing and digestion to concentration and circulation. Plus, having better posture just makes you feel better. According to a study from biofeedback, slouching increases helpless, hopeless, powerless, and depressive thoughts. Meanwhile, when you walk tall or stand proud, your mood improves and you not only feel younger, you also look younger To improve your posture, try to remember these tips. When standing, make sure your knees are slightly bent, shoulders are pulled back, stomach is tucked in, and your head is level, so your earlobes are in line with your shoulders (avoid pushing your head forward, backward, or to the side). When sitting, keep your feet on the floor (use a footrest if necessary) with a small gap between the back of your knees and front of your seat, knees at or below hip level, shoulders relaxed, and forearms parallel to the ground. Meanwhile, you can help correct poor posture by doing an exercise called angel wings. Stand with your back to a wall, and your feet about four to six inches away from the wall, lean back so your back is flat against the wall. Bend your arms into stop signs, with elbows bent at shoulder height, hands facing up, and forearms on the wall. Keeping your back, head, shoulders, and forearms against the wall, slide your arms up the wall as high as you can. Return to start and repeat eight to ten times (or fewer if you get too tired to use the correct form). Rest thirty to sixty seconds and repeat. Do this several times a week.
