New Advice: Don't Sit Up Straight
Brief article about a study released in November 2006, which suggests that "leaning back is a much better posture" than sitting up straight while working. Includes a description of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study and how "disks [in the back] were least moved when subjects were sitting back at a 135-degree sitting position." From LiveScience.com, a website from a science and technology media and commerce company.
