Sitting in front of your laptop, or on the couch can have a lot of bad, long lasting consequences. Not only is there a chance of gaining weight, but also your posture could slowly deteriorate, and you could begin to suffer from back pain more frequently.

It’s no myth that sitting hunched over all day at a desk can cause such awful things, but other consequences could arise.

A study was done at San Francisco State University – students were asked to walk down a hallway, some were told to do it while slouching. Those, the “slouchers,” had reported to feel more depressed than those who had walked with good posture.

Having bad posture can affect your appearance too – by making you look heavier than what you actually are! Another study done at Harvard even showed that having a better posture could help relieve stress.

Not only can having a bad posture possibly lead to those awful consequences, but also it can begin to cause back pain – which, in time, could limit our mobility.

To avoid, or decrease, the chances of developing any of these issues, let’s take a look at three powerful yoga moves that help improve posture and relieve back pain.

"Eat this, not that." That is personally one phrase I’m tired of hearing, and though it may be true to limit your consumption of certain foods, that doesn’t mean all the good stuff has to be cut out. Moderation is key, and that’s something I continuously discuss when I’m writing about how to maintain your weight, or lose weight, or becoming healthier.

I know this may be hard to believe but there are actually some foods out there, that may be labeled as unhealthy, that are actually really good to add to your diet! So let’s not worry about what you can’t eat, but rather, what you can.

It's hard to stay healthy while travelling. It’s one thing to go on vacation and take a break from your workout routine and indulge more often in your meals. That's a must every now and then. After all, you're only human. But it’s different if you travel for work and are always on the road, where it becomes a constant battle of figuring out how to stay healthy and stay on track in foreign languages, different time zones and unknown city streets.

Here’s 10 things you can do to stay healthy while you travel:

Walk everywhere – When time allows, put on your walking shoes and get going! Forget about taxis, buses and trains, just start walking. Not only will you see more of the city, but you will get some exercise at the same time. Invite your colleagues along and see if you can even take one of your meetings on the road and talk about business as you soak in the sights of the city.
