“If able to lie I will not sit; if able to sit I will not stand; if able to stand I will not walk.” This is the mentality of common people in daily life. Everyone spends his day changing the four basic postures. But do you know that the four simple postures contain the truth of health preservation? Believe it or not. The world health cultivation website tells you how to be a real successful health keeper by walling, standing, sitting and lying.

First, walking. Holding up the head and the chest is the key.
Walking fast with the head lowering, the chest shrinking, the sole dragging on the ground, and the arms being idle is a wrong posture. Walking fast with the head lowering and the breast shrinking not only causes fatigue easily but also have negative effects on the function of lung and heart. Walking with the sole dragging on the ground will injure the joints, the muscles and the bows of feet. The correct walking posture should be “walking with the head and the breast held high”, which speaks out the essence of a correct walking posture. Although the leg.move most, the eyes, the head, the chin, the neck, the shoulders, the back, the chest and the arms are vital parts in walking. You should correct the positions of them.
The eyes should look at the front horizontally 3 to 6 meters ahead.
The head is held to seek a feeling of being pulled up.
The chin is drawn out to make sure that it is parallel to the ground.
The neck is upright moving naturally with the body.
The two shoulders are on the same level.
The back is slightly pulled backward.
The chest must be raised, never to shrink.
The arms are kept dropping naturally, swaying on each side at an angle of 30 to 450.
More skills: when walking add some slight movements, such as clapping for 5 minutes and rubbing the stomach. The elderly with poor kidneys walk on the toes for 5 minutes.to benefit the “yang” of the kidneys because walking that way makes the inner side of the sole and the big toe get massaged.

Second, standing. Standing askew harms the body.
Standing with feet crossing and the body slanting is a common wrong standing posture, which increases muscle’s strain of one side while causing muscle’s looseness of the other. There is one point beyond your expectation, that is, the positions of the internal organs shift as the standing posture changes. An incorrect standing posture will affect the supersession of the internal organ system.
Correct standing posture:
Balance is the first thing to be paid attention to, which has each part of the body bear force equally. Remember the following formula: one axle, three balances and four bends. This is based upon physiological structure and biological mechanics.
One axle means that the spinal column is vertical, and so is the back and the waist.
Three three balances indicate that the two shoulders are kept at the same level, and so it is with the two sacrums and the two lower limbs.
Four bends are related to the shape of the spinal column which is not straight but has four physiological bends.The neck protrudes forwards while the chest withdraws backwards, and the waist protrudes forwards while the sacrums withdraw backwards. This is natural. The army-man’s standing posture is not the best because it is too tense. “Standing as a pine tree does” contains a sense of relaxation. Stand with two legs a little bending and two hands naturally rested evenly.
More skills: standing long in one position is tiring especially for the old; therefore while standing with your eyes closed and your face held up to the sky, exercise deep breathing to enlarge your lung’s capacity. Or lift the body with the two hands holding each other across and rising over the head.

Third Sitting: tap all over the body make the brain fit.
Sitting for long is never a healthy life style for modern people and bad sitting posture makes things worse. Many diseases like cervical vertebra disease, shoulder pains, back and waist pain, vein prolonging and curving and eye problems are all caused by wrong sitting postures.
The correct sitting posture: the principle of “123”.
One refers to one figure: 60 cm, saying that the eyes should be 60 cm away from the computer.
Two refers to two helpers, meaning that using a cushion to help the back against the back of the chair and a book or a wooden box to help lift the computer so that the eyesight falls a little under the center of the computer’s scream.
Three refers to the necessary three right angles, that is, the upper arm and the lower arm form a right angle, the upper limb and the back form a right angle, and so do the upper limb and the lower limb.
More skills
Tapping all over the body is a good way to keep the brain healthy. Tap the lower limb, the upper limb, the hip, the waist, the shoulder and finally the head. Ten times for each part. Massage the temple, baihui acupoint, fengchi acupoint, one minute for each acupoint.

Fourth, Lying. Lying on the right side calmly and peacefully
While watching TV some people lie halfway, curl up in the sofa , lie with four limbs upward or with both hands crossing on the chest, or lie on the face like a frog. Any of the lying postures is not good,because they might cause breathing locked and bring unnecessary load on the muscles and internal organs. Furthermore, they will have negative effects on sleep, which cause health problems consequently.
The right lying posture should be the following.
Firstly, lie on the right side. It is particularly suitable for the old.
Secondly, lie in the shape of a bow, with two legs curved naturally.
Thirdly, lie in a state of tranquility with no distracting thoughts.
As to healthy people lying on the right side avoids pressing the heart, relaxes the muscles and get rid of tiredness. But if one has something wrong with the heart and the liver, it is better to lie on the left side. Those with serious a heart disease should follow the doctor’s advice on how to lie.
More skills: before falling asleep, lie flatly and rub the stomach to make the stomach and the spleen healthy. With the right hand on the back of the left hand rob anti-clockwise for 30 circles and then do it with left hand on the right hand clockwise for the same number.
