Health experts warn against "sucking in" your stomach to appear thinner, as it can lead to breathing difficulties, posture problems, and pelvic floor issues. Constantly holding in your stomach can strain back and neck muscles, cause chronic bad posture, and contribute to neck pain and postural imbalances. Gripping your stomach muscles can also lead to creases in the abdomen and accentuate the belly pouch. The excessive strain can impact the pelvic floor and organs, resulting in bladder and bowel issues. While it may be appropriate during weightlifting, constantly gripping your stomach for extended periods is detrimental to your health. To reverse the damage, experts recommend staying active, using standing desks, practicing muscle-relaxing exercises like yoga, and focusing on low-impact moves to improve posture and relieve stress.
