It's like zero gravity!? 7 benefits learned from the concept of the zero gravity chair

We've all heard at least once that quality sleep is important.

However, it is not widely known that the posture you adopt when sleeping is actually related to the depth of your sleep and how refreshed you feel the next morning.

What we would like to draw your attention to here is the "Zero Gravity Position," which is also the design concept of ZINUS' Zero Gravity Chair.

In this article, we will explain what a zero gravity posture is and the seven benefits that can be achieved by a zero gravity posture .

■ What is Zero Gravity Position?

The zero gravity position is one in which your head and knees are kept slightly higher than your heart, and your torso and legs form an angle of approximately 120 degrees .

This posture is based on the "Neutral Body Position (NBP)" that NASA studied for astronauts . NBP is the posture that people naturally adopt in space, and it is thought to balance pressure on the body and make it easier to relax.

The ZINUS Zero Gravity Chair is a relaxing chair designed to make it easy to incorporate NBP into your daily life.

The effects of zero gravity on the body

In a zero-gravity position, you can expect the following changes in your body:

A. When your hips are bent at about a 120-degree angle, your body is approaching the "zero stress zone."
B. It relieves pressure on the spine (lower back) and relaxes the muscles.
C. It helps keep the airways and nasal passages open.
D. Keeping your legs elevated helps reduce strain on your heart.
E. The heart and stomach are kept in a natural position, slightly below the head and knees.

In this way, the zero gravity posture balances the entire body, creating a comfortable and relaxing position that supports daily life.

■ 7 benefits of zero gravity posture

The zero-gravity posture, developed through NASA research, is said to help distribute pressure on many parts of the body, including bones, joints, and organs, and is one of the positions that relax the body.

These positions release tension from your body and make it easier to adopt a more comfortable , relaxed position .

As a result , it may support the quality of your sleep environment .

1. It helps reduce strain on the lower back

A zero-gravity posture makes it easier to maintain the natural curve of the spine and distributes the strain on the muscles and joints around the waist.

Some people find that their posture becomes more stable and they feel less tired even when sitting for long periods of time.

2. It helps promote blood circulation

By keeping your legs slightly elevated, you can expect to reduce the strain on your heart and improve blood flow.

3. Get into a position that will ease your stomach discomfort

Sleeping flat on your back can make it easier for stomach acid to reflux.

Some people find that by raising their upper body slightly, as if in a zero-gravity position, they are more susceptible to the effects of gravity, which helps to alleviate stomach discomfort.

4. You'll feel less bloated

Standing or sitting for long periods of time can make you more susceptible to swelling in your legs, but some people find that elevating their legs helps to alleviate fluid imbalances and relieve swelling.

5. It helps you breathe more easily and reduces snoring.

When you sleep on your back, excess fat in the back of your throat and around your neck can easily block your airway, narrowing the air passage and causing vibrations (snoring).
By slightly raising your upper body as if you were in a zero-gravity position, your airways will open more easily and you will be able to breathe more easily.

As a result, some people find that snoring becomes less of a concern, and some find that natural breathing makes them feel more relaxed.

6. It's easy to relax during pregnancy

As you move into your third trimester, changes can make it difficult to sleep.

The zero-gravity posture helps distribute pressure on the body, making it easier to relax even when lying on your back.

*The zero-gravity posture introduced in this article is for relaxation purposes only and does not represent any medical benefits or effects. If you have any concerns about your health during pregnancy, please consult your doctor.

7. It's easier to make time to relax

Watch videos on your smartphone, read a book, or take a nap.

The Zero Gravity chair allows you to relax and rest your body while providing firm support for your head and neck.

It may help reduce the stiffness that often occurs when sitting at a desk for long periods of time, and turn those times when you feel "vaguely tired" into comfortable moments.

■ Changing your posture can change the quality of your relaxation

The zero gravity position simply involves elevating your head and legs slightly higher than your heart and stomach, and bending your waist at a 120-degree angle.

The ZINUS Zero Gravity Chair was inspired by this weightless posture and is designed to ease the strain on your body in your daily life. Just lean back in the chair and take a deep breath.

Because we are so busy every day, taking the time to "support" our bodies will also lead to more peace of mind.
