It is enough to get on any public transport or take a look around us to see that the majority of people look downspecifically towards his mobile phone.
But these constant postures can have consequences on our health beyond muscle pain and stiffness. This is what the doctor maintains Solomon Abrahamsa British physiotherapist who claims that they can also increase the risk of dementia.
Abrahams’ analysis, published by the Daily Mailsuggests that the posture people adopt while using their devices can reduce blood flow to the brainwhich leads to cognitive decline.
Abrahams has reviewed the research on the topic and says that “emerging evidence and clinical trials have indicated the possible consequences for cognitive health and neurological”.
“Persistent pressure on the arteries from holding the head in a forward position, as many people do when looking at their phones, can lead to a chronic reduction in the diameter of those arteriespotentially reducing the amount of blood that can reach the brain,” says Abrahams.
“Alzheimer’s will become more common as the population ages, but this research points to our daily habits of poor posture when staring at our phones as a possible cause of an increase in cases“, says.
Abrahams added that “my advice is to hold your phone somewhere where you don’t need to lean forward,” adding, “Take a positive step in your spine and brain health by using your phone when you can.” keep your neck in its natural alignmentand when using a laptop, adjust your work environment to support healthy posture.”
