> Slouching isn’t bad for your spine, but may impact your memory
坐姿懶散不會影響脊柱 但會影響記憶

Slouching is traditionally considered to be a “bad” posture — with some claiming it will damage your spine and cause pain.
懶散的坐姿在傳統(tǒng)上被視為一種“不良”坐姿，有些人還聲稱坐姿懶散會對脊柱造成損傷，導(dǎo)致脊柱疼痛。

The great news is that in the past two decades, there’s been a plethora of rigorous clinical studies conducted that have concluded that there’s no relationship between slouching and spinal pain. There’s also no evidence that people who slouch are more likely to suffer with back or neck pain compared to non-slouchers.
好消息是，過去二十年來，大量嚴謹?shù)呐R床研究得出結(jié)論稱，坐姿懶散和脊柱疼痛之間沒有關(guān)系。沒有證據(jù)證明，坐姿懶散的人相比坐姿不懶散的人更容易背痛、脖子痛。

There’s also no clear evidence that slouching while sitting at your desk or while using your phone causes damage to the spine. Even the UK government’s latest guidance on working with screens puts less emphasis on an idealized posture at the workstation.
也沒有明確的證據(jù)表明，辦公或看手機時坐姿懶散會對脊柱造成損傷。就連英國政府對于坐在屏幕前工作的最新指導(dǎo)意見也不再強調(diào)理想的辦公坐姿。

Instead, they emphasize the importance of adopting comfortable positions, varying your positions, avoiding awkward positions (such as flexing or arching your back or neck), and including regular breaks from your static posture throughout the day. All of these tips will help reduce the risk of developing pain and muscle fatigue.
相反，這一指導(dǎo)意見強調(diào)，要采用舒適的坐姿，不時地變換姿勢，避免不自然的坐姿（比如彎曲或拱起背部或頸部），并在一天當中定期活動一下，不要長時間保持靜態(tài)坐姿不動。所有這些建議都有助于減少身體疼痛和肌肉疲勞的風(fēng)險。

There’s a pretty good reason slouching doesn’t damage our spines, and that is our spines are designed to allow movements as diverse as Olympic weightlifting to limbo dancing.
有一個很好的理由可以解釋為什么坐姿懶散不會損傷脊柱，那就是人體脊柱可以承受從奧運會舉重到林波舞等各種強度和形式的運動。

But there is one area where slouching may have a negative effect. Slouching has been linked to poorer information and memory recall, as well as worse mood when compared to sitting upright. These memory and mood problems are shown to be rapidly improved when moving from a slouched to erect posture.
但是坐姿懶散也許會對一個方面產(chǎn)生負面影響。與坐姿端正相比，坐姿懶散被認為會影響信息回憶能力和記憶力，并會讓心情更糟糕。當人們從懶散坐姿切換成端正坐姿時，記憶問題和情緒問題都迅速改善。

So if you’re a sloucher, rest assured that it isn’t really bad for you and is as good as any other posture you adopt. Comfortable postures are safe, and sitting is not dangerous.
因此，如果你是個坐姿懶散的人，你可以放心的是，你的坐姿不會對你產(chǎn)生什么實質(zhì)性的有害影響，也不比其他坐姿差。舒適的坐姿是安全的，坐著也不危險。

Overall, the human spine is designed to be on the move rather than static in one posture for long periods, which is why movement and changing your posture throughout the day is important to reduce fatigue and subsequent discomfort.
總體而言，人類脊柱就是為了活動而設(shè)計的，而不是為了長時間保持一個靜態(tài)姿勢。這就是為什么在一天當中不時活動一下變換姿勢對于減少疲勞和（久坐帶來的）不適很重要。
