Granny lied to you: turns out, bad posture may be good for you (collective sigh.) Despite generations of doctors advising otherwise, studies prove that perfect sitting-posture actually strains lumbar disks in your lower back. According to the New York Times, a new study used magnetic resonance imaging to compare people in three different positions–sitting upright, hunching forward, and leaning back at a 135-degree angle with feet on the floor. The results? Sitting up straight and leaning forward caused spinal disks to become misaligned, whereas leaning back didn’t. So today’s medical lesson: sit back and relax! Meanwhile, finishing schools around the nation are shuddering.
