The Spine Who Loved Me
Want to slouch? Go ahead. The latest research suggests that we would be far better off slouching and slumping. Today’s advice, reports The Times, is to let go and recline. A team of radiologists has found that sitting up straight puts unneccesary strain on the spine and could cause chronic back pain because of trapped nerves or slipped discs. The ideal angle for office workers who sit for long periods is about 135 degrees. It might make working at a computer impractical but it will put less pressure on the spine than a hunched or upright position. Sounds lilke the recline and fall of the roamin' empire.
