Sitting up straight, something many of us are taught from a very early age, is not good for your back, say researchers from Scotland and Canada. They found that sitting up straight strains your back unnecessarily. Ideally, you should lean slightly back, at an angle of about 135 degrees, they say.

So relax and sit back. Dont confuse this with slouching but just lounging and relieve the stress on your back. :)
