However, crossing one’s legs is actually bad for our health.

　　For women who sit for long periods of time at work, lower back pain may be the most common disease. The direct cause is mostly caused by spinal deformation. A normal spine should be in an "S" shape when viewed from the side. Lordosis or kyphosis of the lumbar spine will cause spinal nerve compression and pain. Women who suffer from low back pain often have excessive lordosis or kyphosis in their lumbar spine. The reason is crossed legs. Because it is easy to hunched over when sitting with legs crossed, causing uneven pressure distribution on the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae. If things go on like this, heat will compress the spinal nerves and cause lower back pain.

　　On the other hand, crossed legs can also hinder blood circulation in the legs and cause varicose veins in the legs. Varicose veins are a chronic disease caused by long-term dilation of veins, and are most common in the legs. In severe cases, poor venous return in the legs, bulging veins, ulcers, phlebitis, bleeding and other diseases often occur. Surveys have found that among women over 35 years old who like to cross their legs, half suffer from varicose veins to varying degrees, and the other half often feel various discomforts in their legs.

　　Since cross-legged legs can easily lead to waist and leg problems, office workers and women who love beauty should sit in a posture and change the bad habit of cross-legged legs, so that they can become more elegant and good for their health.
