Manbags Silly And Not Good For You

NewsTime - Tuesday, February 22, 2011

The British Chiropractic Association (BCA) has come to the aid of helpless fashion victims worldwide.

The medical has warned that man bags, that curiously popular fashion accessory, are not good for one’s back and spinal health. The BCA warned that those who use/carry manbags, should proceed with caution, and not just because they look silly.

BCA spokesman Tim Hutchful told Reuters that manbags could :" could cause back and shoulder pain from prolonged stress, this could also impact posture. We need to become more savvy in how we use them, whilst learning to read our bodies and know when we're placing too much pressure on certain points".

The BCA recommended alternating the shoulder you sling the strap over, keeping the strap short and not carrying your bag for extended periods of time.

Newstime has an even simpler tip-no manbags.

- Although this is pretty funny, it is actually very serious. On a daily basis, I speak to women in our office about the contents in their purses. Too often women carry too much weight in their purse and it is very important to limit that weight by carrying the bare essentials necessary to carry out your day. Carrying your purse incorrectly can cause common injuries to the neck, shoulders, and even mid back.

It's simple: lighten up the load and alternate shoulders!
