Posture and weight loss

So I can't find the link to the study but I thought I'd share about it here anyway in case anyone found it useful. Apparently studies have indicated that our hormonal balance is linked to (among other things ofc) our posture. One way to support weight loss, according to these studies, is to do postural exercises (thing like Tai chi, or simple posture-focused stretches) and attempt to maintain better posture throughout the day. This has a positive effect on your hormonal expression and can actually cut back on the body's production of some of the hormones associated with weight gain and fat retention.

If anyone finds these studies please feel free to comment them and I can add them in an edit.

Edit:

This one focuses on mood but is still a relevant read:. https://www.spirohealth.co.uk/how-does-posture-affect-your-hormones/
