There was this one girl in my first grade class who would sit straight like a rod for hours as we sat on the ground around our teacher who was reading to us. The only reason she did this was that the teacher would periodically compliment here on her nice posture. I bet she has scoliosis or something now.
Sitting up straight is not the best position for office workers, a study has suggested.
Scottish and Canadian researchers used a new form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to show it places an unnecessary strain on your back.
They told the Radiological Society of North America that the best position in which to sit at your desk is leaning back, at about 135 degrees.
Experts said sitting was known to contribute to lower back pain.
