Your posture has a huge impact on how you look to others. Posture plays an important role. If you slouch while walking, standing and sitting, your posture will make you look slightly older. If you are a woman, slouching will make your breast look saggy while for men, slouching will cause them to have a belly. Yoga and certain exercises can fix posture problems. Standing and sitting straight does not only make one look good but keeps the spine in healthy state. Images: Getty
