Do you suck in your tummy when you're posing for pictures or lying in your swimsuit on the beach?
Sadly, many of us do. The pressure to live up to unrealistic expectations of the body dates to early in life and we've likely been tensing our stomach unconsciously for years.
What you might not realise is there is a medical term for this action, and that doing it too often for too long can have health implications.
Referred to as 'stomach gripping', holding in our stomach can lead to back pain, urine leakage, breathing issues among other issues.
