What Happens When You Quit Slouching?
Stand tall. See how posture affects hormones and back health.
Quick Summary
Slouching compresses your organs and spine. Quitting it (fixing posture) increases lung capacity immediately. Psychologically, standing tall increases testosterone and lowers cortisol (power posing). You look more confident and you feel it too.
