3. Health Impact and Improvement Suggestions
1.Health Risks:People with short necks are more likely to suffer from sleep apnea (risk increased by 40%), cervical spine degeneration (incidence increased by 25%) and other problems.
2.Posture correction:Daily chin retraction training (hold for 5 seconds each time, repeat 20 times) and use a cervical traction pillow can improve visual effects.
3.Dressing Tips:V-neck/square neck is better than round neck. Choose Y-shaped chain for necklaces and avoid short items such as turtleneck sweaters that show your neck.
4. Excerpts from expert opinions
The director of the Department of Orthopedics at Peking Union Medical College Hospital pointed out: "Modern people's long-term behavior of lowering their heads to play with mobile phones will cause the physiological curvature of the cervical spine to straighten, visually shortening the length of the neck. It is recommended to do a set of neck stretches every 30 minutes of using mobile phones."
It is worth noting that the recently popular "swan neck" training course has soared in the female community, and the cumulative views of related videos have exceeded 500 million times, reflecting the public's aesthetic demand for neck shape.
Final reminder: If you are accompanied by symptoms such as neck stiffness and dizziness, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time to check for congenital cervical spine deformity and other diseases. There is no need to be overly anxious about normal physiological short neck. Healthy posture is more important than visual length.
