Is Text Messaging Destroying People’s Posture?
“God created human government. It is, therefore, inconceivable that God would create government and then tell His people to stay out of it.” ~ Pastor Adrian Rogers

“This is how texting is messing up your spine
November 28, 2014
‘Every so often, I stumble across news about how texting is destroying our bodies (Not helping our minds either?—my addition)—I still think about a study I once read that said looking down at our phones all day is destroying the elasticity in our neck skin and giving us all early jowls at least twice a day (Because it is in a study does not make it true! Think of the man-made global warming nonsense! There is no man-made global warming! That is pure nonsense and arrogance on the part of those who claim man is capable of such power! Of course, most of them don’t believe their own lies! Because they know they are lies!—my addition) . I promise, this image and info is definitely going to stick with you, too (sorry!).
Spinal doctor Kenneth Hansraj recently published a paper in the journal Surgery Technology International on how the way we hunch over our phones is affecting our bodies—and, apparently, it’s adding an extra 60 pounds of weight to our spines. Hansraj wrote, ‘An adult head weighs 10 to 12 pounds in the neutral position. As the head tilts forward, the forces seen by the neck surges to 27 pounds at 15 degrees, 40 pounds at 30 degrees, 49 pounds at 45 degrees and 60 pounds at 60 degrees.’ Bet that just made you sit up a little straighter (Did it?—my addition).
No wonder our necks hurt after a long commute of staring at our phones (or, I’d guess, a long day staring down at your laptop, too)! After years of that terrible phone-induced posture, Hansraj added, your back and neck muscles could deteriorate to the point of needing surgery. But, if Hansraj’s words don’t have a significant effect on you, I’d suggest staring at the image above for a little bit (OK! There is no image above? I got the two pictures posted from the internet!—my addition). That will make you re-think your stance on good posture.
(Oh, and P.S.—fixing your posture is also the quickest way to relieve stress and give yourself a quick self-esteem boost at work. Just saying!)”
Have a great weekend texting! I do not know how valid the study is!
