What effects does constantly slouching your back have on your body?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Loser posture: Slouching makes you look like a loser. People have more respect for those with decent posture. Poor posture leads to poor musculoskeletal alignment and overall poor tone. Slouching can cause headaches, muscle fatigue, jaw pain and balance problems. In general people who slouch are perceived as lazy and careless. Girls are more attracted to boys with good posture. http://www.mensfitness.com/training/pro-tips/4-reasons-stop-slouching/slide/1

This is a question: for a chiropractor--a type of doc I haven't seen on this forum. Slouching, sooner or later may have bad effects on organs, athleticism, self-esteem and ??? If you can, learn about good posture, starting with something simple like a You Tube video. Your MD will have good suggestions. Try a fitness trainer if you happen to have a gym membership. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQGg6-eG9jA
