Have you ever wondered what the zero-gravity position is for on your lift chair? The zero-gravity position is a feature that has many benefits and can make your lift chair even more useful! In today's blog, we will discuss what benefits the zero-gravity position on your lift chair provides.
What Is the Zero-Gravity Position?
The zero-gravity position is a position on your lift chair where there is no force of gravity on your body. In this position, your upper body and legs will form about a 120-degree angle by raising your head and knee line above your heart. This position is designed to relieve stress on your spine.
What are the Benefits of the Zero-Gravity Position?
The zero-gravity position provides many health benefits, so here are a few of them:
- Improves Blood Circulation and Reduces Swelling
- The elevation in the zero-gravity position allows for reduced swelling and your heart can easily pump blood throughout the body while not having to work as hard.
- Alleviates Back Pain
- In the zero-gravity position, your body weight is evenly distributed, allowing your back to rest and reducing your back pain.
- Helps You Breathe Better
- This benefit may not seem as obvious, but the zero-gravity position can help improve your lung capacity and help you breathe better overall. Sitting in the zero-gravity position allows your lungs and diaphragm to fully expand and it can help your entire body relax, giving you time to take a couple of deep breaths and relax your body and mind.
- Increases Convenience
- Because you are not fully laying down in the zero-gravity position, you can still be productive while gaining all of the health benefits at the same time. You can get work done, read your favorite book, catch up on emails, or watch your favorite TV show or movie.
