In 1902 the US Cavalry recommended that horse never carry more than 20
percent of its weight into battle. Current studies confirm that the
percentage put the least strain on the animals heart, respiration,
muscles and bones. use that rule of thumb for what you and your
children carry, too. Unfortunately, kids regularly tote backpacks that
way 22 percent of their body weight or more. A lot of your throw
portable computers over your shoulder, haul a weeks worth of veggies
home from the farmers market or strap on a baby carrier to tote around a
30 to 40 pound child. Plus, many of you double or triple up. A purse
Wayne three to seven pounds shares a shoulder with a shopping bag
overflowing with groceries in a gym bag with workout clothes. Then
there's the schlepping 40 pound carry on bags for airports. Ouch! You're
risking chronic lower back pain, shoulder injury, neck strain,
headaches and poor posture. Kids can injure their spine in ways that may
call steel lifelong problems.
Here's how to make whatever you're toting safer:
1. Weight backpacks and
purses; lighten the load is there too heavy. Always used both backpack
shoulder straps. One shoulder carry amplifies the risk of lower back and
shoulder pain and restricts blood flow to the arm.
2. Get rolling! Computer cases, kids backpacks, carry on luggage,
shopping carts and gym bags come with great invention called wheels. Use
em!
