Which is not a tip for good posture when sitting?

• A. Slouch
• B. Keep head erect
• C. Sit back in the chair
• D. Rest both feet on the floor

Answer: (A)

Maintaining proper seated posture means the spine stays in its natural curves, the head stays aligned over the spine, the back is supported, and the feet are flat on the floor. Slouching is not a tip for good posture because it rounds the shoulders and upper back, pushes the head forward, and disrupts spinal alignment, which can lead to back and neck pain and tiredness.

Keeping the head erect helps keep the neck in a neutral position and reduces strain. Sitting back in the chair with the back supported maintains the natural lumbar curve and distributes weight evenly, easing pressure on the spine. Resting both feet on the floor provides a stable base and promotes good circulation, avoiding unnecessary leg strain.
