The Truth About Body Misalignment: Why It Leads to Obesity and How to Correct It

Tilting ruins your figure

Why does body misalignment lead to obesity?

Yoga, beneficial to both mind and body, helps balance the body.

Daily habits and overusing muscles are all causes of body misalignment.

We resist gravity and stand in postures that make it easier to maintain balance. Disruption of balance causes the body to tilt. Bad habits developed in daily life, such as sitting sideways, standing on one leg, and hunching over a desk for long periods, gradually put a burden on the body and are the causes of tilting.

When considering the body as an object, the spine is like a pillar, the pelvis like a foundation, and the area below the hip joints like the ground, with muscles providing support and protection. Sustained poor posture first increases the burden on the muscles protecting the bones. This leads to a decrease in metabolism, fat accumulation, and, when improperly attached muscles are present,...

If you don't use your muscles at all, your metabolism will slow down, your body will weaken, and fat will easily accumulate. Conversely, overusing your muscles will lead to fatigue, muscle stiffness, poor blood circulation, and obstructed lymphatic drainage, which will also cause a slowed metabolism. Standing or sitting for more than 5 hours at a time, maintaining the same posture, crossing your legs, etc., if these bad habits are not corrected, will increase the burden on your muscles, causing your body to become misaligned. This will further increase the burden on the muscles protecting those areas, thus trapping the body in a vicious cycle: decreased metabolic function and more severe misalignment.

Sitting sideways, standing with legs crossed, and other bad habits that develop unconsciously can all cause body misalignment.

4. Why does body misalignment lead to obesity?

Most importantly, avoid continuously providing the same stimulus. Stimulate muscles that are not frequently used. Only by using muscles appropriately can you increase muscle strength, retain muscle moisture, and improve metabolic rate.

Develop a lean physique by maintaining good posture and increasing your metabolic rate.

Incorrect posture leaves muscles unprotected, causing the body to tilt and gradually increase the burden on bones, leading to bone deformities.

Besides increasing basal metabolic rate, maintaining correct posture, and protecting internal organs, muscles also play a role in the body's tension and relaxation. Especially when the gluteal muscles, psoas major, and abdominal muscles that protect the pelvis are misaligned, the pelvis they protect will also become misaligned. This causes abdominal organs to shift downwards, resulting in a protruding lower abdomen. Even people who don't appear overweight at first glance may have a protruding lower abdomen.

Our muscles are divided into slow-twitch muscles, which are used during aerobic exercise, and fast-twitch muscles, which generate explosive power. Slow-twitch muscles are mainly responsible for maintaining posture, walking, and other daily activities, and primarily use fat as energy.

Yoga involves slow breathing while strengthening slow-twitch muscle fibers and maintaining beautiful postures, making it easier to burn fat and thus creating a lean physique.

Adjusting your emotions during yoga practice has a significant effect on shaping a beautiful figure.

This book compiles simple movements that even beginners can easily perform.

Yoga is originally a practice of meditation and the cultivation of both mind and body. It involves expressing one's intention through the movements. When a person is depressed or tense, it affects the effectiveness of the movements. When in pain or sadness, the head naturally droops, while when happy or joyful, the chest is lifted and the back is straightened.

Concentrating during yoga practice can boost your mood and help you perform the poses better.

Yoga improves muscle balance and flexibility, thus correcting body misalignments and making it a beautiful, healthy, and slimming exercise.

No excess fat, legs together without gaps, and a slender, extended back-these are all key points to maintaining beautiful posture.

Why does the body tilt?

A graceful upper body, a flat stomach, and long, beautiful legs-to achieve the ideal figure, one must fundamentally eliminate the causes of the imbalance.

Let's now learn about the causes of misalignment in daily life.

NG

Support your weight with your knees and lower back, keeping your shoulders relaxed. Relying solely on your bones for support instead of using muscle strength, in a careless manner, puts a significant strain on your joints.

NG

Standing on one leg is a habit that develops unconsciously. At first glance, it may seem comfortable, but in reality, bearing the entire weight on one side puts a great burden on the body, causing the hip joint to become misaligned and increasing the burden on the pelvis and lower back. "O" legs and "X" legs are among the causes of leg misalignment.

NG

Most women adopt this posture, which at first glance appears to be an upright posture, but it involves excessive weight-bearing on the lower back and non-use of abdominal muscles. This can easily lead to anterior pelvic tilt.

The daily habit of leaning back in a chair causes a variety of drawbacks. First, there's the hunchback shown in the image. The strain on the lower back from hunching is one cause of pelvic misalignment. At the same time, hunching over while working exacerbates neck fatigue and shoulder pain.

As shown in the picture, the posture of sitting with legs apart and the entire buttocks on the ground can cause spinal misalignment, pelvic misalignment, and abdominal protrusion. This is because the legs bear the entire body weight, leading to misalignment and twisting.

Similar to standing on one leg, this is a casual posture that develops unconsciously. It also means that one side of the body bears the entire weight, making it difficult to maintain balance. The increased burden on the lower back increases tension in the muscles around the spine, further exacerbating the body's tilt.

This is the most important cause of pelvic and hip joint misalignment. Leaning to one side leads to poor body balance. Please correct this bad habit as soon as possible.
