Don't be a slouch

It's amazing what siting posture can (or can't) do to your physical being. Ever sit at a computer all day and then wonder why you are lethargic and worn out in the evening? Thank bad posture (in part) for that.

What do do? Sitting up straight is the answer, although it is hard to constantly remember not to slouch while sitting for extended periods of time.

As a result, scientists at Duke University estimate that back pain is costing the country $90 billion a year. That sounds about right. If the place where you work has not given ergonomics training to employees along with workplace items not conducive to slouching all day long, maybe it's time you remind them.
