Frequently it accounts for that backache you've been complaining about, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society cautions in a health talk. Your posture also shows your deposition. Feeling "out of *ts," irritable, and too tired to go about your 'idaily -activity? Your sagging posture may cause a sour disposition. Nearly everyone w.as born with the basic formation for a good posture, but through neglect, lack of proper supervision, and susceptibility to certain fads some persons develop a faulty posture. Posture means the relationship • the various parts of the body, len standing, sitting, tying down or moving. r With good posture, the inner organs of the body are permitted to function more efficiently with less strain, while poor posture places abnormal strain on muscles, joints and ligaments, which may produce disturbances of the chest, abdominal and pelvic organs. £Poor posture may be the result of such diseases as rickets, infantile paralysis, tuberculosis, arthritis and syphilis. It may also stem from poor vision, impaired hearing, deformities at birth and weakened foot arches, And then carelessness may be a factor in poor posture. Good posture results in a well coordinated body balance. The fat, with toes pointed straight tHaad, carry the weight evenly, lightly and with a certain "springiness." The head is up, the shoulders back and the stomach in. Somehow the walk of a person with good posture carries added characteristics -- alertness and interest. On the other hand, the person whose feet turn out in shuffled steps, whose' shoulders sag, stomach bulges and whose head hangs suggests laziness and loss of. interest. j Habits can be dangerous i things. Carrying school booljs on i the same side day in and day i out may result in a sagging ef- j feet. Slumping in a chair is a j bad habit. Better relaxation is achieved by sitting straight up with the tip of the spine resting against the back 6f the chair and letting the bone structure carry the sitting weight of the body. This position also gives the chest organs better opportuniy to function normally, as well as the abdominal muscles and organs. ' The value of properly supervised training in physical education cannot be overlooked in developing a well-coordinated body balance, not only for students in grade classes, but for those in high school and college. Bad postural habits can be corrected by concentrated effort. If you are inclined to cross your legs, see to it that you do not always cross the same leg. If you carry books or packages, shift them from^ side to side. In other words be posture conscious. Have a physical examination to rule out any organic defect. Perhaps that fatigue that causes you to slump or "drag" about may be due to improper vision or inadequate nutrition. In any event, check on it. Let your physician determine the causes. If you are organically sound, develop good walking, and sitting and standing habits. You will look and feel better. 8 WAYS To Make Money with Plaindealer Want Ads PlKO w talk to a lot of people each week! fo 1 70 And let us help you write your ad. The cost is very little.
