Answer:

A good posture is one that places the least amount of stress on your muscles and joints

Step-by-step explanation:

Good posture is a balanced body position, which ensures the effective functioning of the musculoskeletal system. When the muscles and joints are located correctly, it is much easier for a person to perform everyday movements: bend down to take a bag, climb up the stairs, etc.

With insufficient balance, the normal position of the joints (shoulder, knee, ankle and hip) is disturbed. Some muscle groups have to take on overload. Over time, tension arises in these muscles. Others, on the contrary, are weakening. Muscular imbalance develops, which sooner or later develops into poor posture. With a deterioration in posture, the mobility of the joints decreases. Moreover, due to the imbalance between overstressed and weakened muscles, the joints experience a high load, which must be compensated for by something. Pain and stiffness appear; it becomes difficult to perform simple movements. But if a person eliminates this imbalance, the posture will immediately improve (and the pain will disappear).
