Mom was wrong : -)

Did your mother keep telling you to sit up straight? Mine did - every time I slouched while doing homework or on the telephone or just hanging out with friends in the living room....

Well it's one thing she was wrong about...seems it is better to slouch - to a degree - actually to about 135 degrees. Saw that article when slouching at the computer - and I had to laugh...guess it's why my back is fine...

It probably is not a good thing to constantly be slouched - getting up and moving around and varying the degree of "slouchiness" is likely to be better....most movement is....

So sorry mom - you were wrong and I am glad this is not one myth I passed on to my son : - )
