According to celebrity trainer and mind-body coach Joel Harper, one of the most overlooked and unappreciated aspects of overall health is posture. Poor posture doesn’t just look bad. It can lead to a variety of health issues beyond backaches and headaches. It can cause problems with concentration, poor digestion and even an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Beyond the physical dangers, poor posture affects you at a cellular level—it directly correlates with your mood and affects your mind, your words, and your energy. Listen in as Joel guides Bottom Line CEO Sarah Hiner through his “posture test,” discusses the role posture has on one’s approachability and shares his favorite posture-improvement tricks.
