How is sitting cross legged bad for you?

Sitting cross-legged can lead to poor posture, which may strain the lower back and hips over time. It can also restrict blood flow to the legs and increase pressure on the knees, potentially causing discomfort or pain. Additionally, prolonged cross-legged sitting might exacerbate muscle imbalances and contribute to stiffness in the hips and lower body. Regularly changing positions and incorporating stretches can help mitigate these effects.
