    I mean way back then I wonder how distorted people’s view of love was. People were weirdly obsessed with how others view them which I think was the big motivation for posture and not actual health. Also, back then children were treated terribly, it was normalized to oppress children and make them be seen and not heard. Children were often sold and used as free labor. I’m down with the posture and oral posture being valued and agree that we can normalize prioritizing posture again. Let’s not pretend that those old cultures that normalized child abuse we’re using teaching posture from a place of love or health. It was about how others saw them.
    Fyi, I do greatly appreciate your research and am so happy that you share your thoughts and findings with us. I will always be honest in this forum.

    I was born in 1967, but my mother, born in 1933, instilled in me the desire to sit and walk with correct posture. I notice many people push their heads forward when they walk which causes their shoulders to be pulled forward. They slump forward and look very old.

      Generally speaking, high heels was worn by women to emphasizing their feminine sexual gesture : all that elegance when they walk, swaying their hips... My father said once, that a century a go in Mainland China, the women from rich families used to have binded foot which called the "Lotus foot". They practically step on their own finger tips... Why was that? It was to strengthen their pelvic muscles, kinda like Kegel exercise... Which led to... you know what 😉😉😉 So, I think the principles of high heels was similar to the Lotus foot. In the other side, French men used to wear high heeled shoes too... Is there any one else can explain better about this fetish kind of thing? 🤓

    You'd need to eliminate European colonial influence to be able to say these currently reported global habits evolved independently. Even those countries that weren't under direct European rule may have adopted European habits. Lots of things that appear global are actually European in origin - e.g. playing football, wearing collared shirts, watching television, using flush toilets.

    I have a scoliosis and I breath through mouth. I see there is much truth behind this concept, one of things I have noticed is that when I breath with close mouth through nose there is more air that gets in, I fell like I get some oxygen boost and i feel my brain gets invigorated as well.. so could oxygen be the big part of the secret behind the concept because it's the very main source to keep us alive and in a good health. I relate much to what's being said here. The open mouth posture makes you look sluggish as well I've also read that it's the good to keep the correct posture sice it's a discipline for humans who aspire to achieve there best and work hard for better tomorrow and evolve ♡ I need to correct my scoliosis now and start a new life

  • @EquilibriumScale

    It's not a debate between conservative vs liberal or whatever political axis.
    It's true there was a age of releasing rigid customs in the 60s onward, which ended up removing some good traditions as well (like these ones about posture). However it did remove a lot of bad pointless outdated customs too.
    So there was a intermediate period where we lost some good customs - but we are rediscovering them again, and I'm optimistic that stuff like this will be mainstream in the future and the pendulum will balance between the good of the old and the good of the new.

    To those who are interested in correct posture, check out the Postural restoration institute. Sitting up straight and maintaining a long and tall neck is a good start. But if you are an adult with incorrect posture, chances are high that your posture is being maintained by your eyes or your teeth. And if that dosen't get sorted out, all your efforts will be futile.

      And I guess this muscle degeneration has lengthened his skull by about 50% and distorted it asymmetrically by a gigantic degree, as well as catastrophically eroding his presumably prominent mandible. Or, perhaps, mewing isn't all it's cracked up to be.

    If ye love me, keep my commandments.
    John 14:15 KJV
    Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
    Exodus 20:8‭-‬9 KJV
    Saturday is the day of the Lord
    The claim that Christ by his death abolished his Father’s law, is without foundation. Had it been possible for the law to be changed or set aside, then Christ need not have died to save man from the penalty of sin. The death of Christ, so far from abolishing the law, proves that it is immutable. The Son of God came to “magnify the law, and make it honorable.” [Isaiah 42:21.] He said, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law;” “till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in nowise pass from the law.” [Matthew 5:17, 18.] And concerning himself he declares, “I delight to do thy will, O my God; yea, thy law is within my heart.” [Psalm 40:8.] GC88 466.3
    Ecclesiastes 12:13 KJV
    Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

    I'm not even tripping. I had the worst crooked teeth growing up, they were so embarassing and bad that I couldn't even talk without opening my mouth as little as possible I was so desperate for braces and I eventually got them. They removed two of my upper teeth and now my teeth are striaght and well. But I would find if I didn't wear my retainer then they would move back slowly to their previous position. Then I stumbled upon this guys content and have been following his advice. It's only been a month but I can definitely feel that I expanded my palate as my tongue is no longer unconformtable on the roof of my mouth. Also I have not been needing my retainers and my teeth are going into a better position than the braces put them in. This guy is the real deal. I wish I had known the importance of oral posture earlier. And I'm 20 for those who want to know.

    This is EXACTLY what I thought a while ago. this rejection of strict traditional rules is what has caused a lot of the messed up faces in this generation. I mean just attend a university lecture nowadays and check the posture of the students. You would be shocked at how much it deviates from normal human posture which is upright, alert, mouth closed and breathing through the nose. No wonder most of the faces are elongated and have crowded messed up teeth.

    There's definitely a reason for every tradition. of course we have to be aware of the reason that the tradition exists in the first place, or else we are going to stop doing it and the next generations would have to relearn it. Now that I think about it, this cycle of leaning and forgetting things through generations is probably always going to be a thing.

      Traditions sure have reasons, but they are reflections of the society, that produced them. Therefore traditions can be good and humane as well as cruel and unfair. As society changes, some traditions become meaningless and new traditions are created, which is normal.
      I'm the thinking of the foot binding tradition in ancient China or female circumcision. There are probably reasons behind them, but it's also obvious that women's health and physical comfort (and in case of the circumcision also sexual life) in those societies were/are a very very low priority. Tells a lot about those societies at the given point of time.
      PS: in the comments 150+ people demand women be housewives to care for their children's postures because "strangers" (meaning professional pedagogues) supposedly won't do that.
      I'm honestly shocked, that for these people, women's right to professional life is so low in priority, that it's lower in value than someone's posture or teeth shape, And on top that, half of the children, who are supposed to benefit from all that, are GIRLS, who would have no future because of that kind of policy. Talking about being stupid and illogical.

      I think what's important is to reexamine every tradition. Don't accept it blindly but also try to figure out if there are merits to certain traditions. Bloodletting bad for example bad. Good Posture for example good. I also think that relearning lost knowledge is something that humans have always had to do and finding ways to avoid this usually accelerates the rate of progress. Stories mitigated having to relearn things, and then bigger groups to pass the story to, and then writing,printing press and now that we have the internet having to relearn things as a species should be a far smaller issue going forward.

    As a mother of two vaccine injured kids we really need this added to the conversation. Listed on the vaccine manufacturer insert is ear infections and sinus infection. Many vaccine injured kids are chronically ill and as such mouth breathing. They also suffer cranial facial nerve damage. Check Forest Maredy’s channel My Incredible Opinion and see his crooked face series. After my daughter received her 4 year old shots she suddenly developed a severe speech issue with lack of control over her tongue. She also developed a gait issue and was collapsing frequently. Chiropractic care and speech therapy have helped but your videos are going to be so helpful. If you are unaware of the vaccine debate please go to Corvelva.it and read the report released in December. That will make a lot more sense as to why kids faces are so deformed now. It’s only getting worse.

The teachers would examine our nails, hair and uniform. No slouching allowed. This was everyday! And when we sat in the class room we were also not allowed to slouch and the teachers would scare us with stories like, 'if you slouch, you will be a hunchback when you grow up'. Funnily, when I sit straight, I wouldn't have to look at the keyboard when I type, but when I slouch I don't know where the letters are on the keyboard.

    Has Dr. Mew ever addressed the (what I call) "horizontal midline?"
    That is, the amount and proportion of upper teeth vs. bottom teeth that are shown when you open your mouth and speak?
    I've noticed that in older people, more of their lower teeth are exposed, and the upper teeth are covered by the top lip, I think it's due to sagging skin. Conversely, people whose upper teeth are almost completely visible when they speak seem to look better and/or younger, in my opinion. It also holds up better to aging because there's more surface area on the top teeth to cover, giving more time to have both rows still visible.
    Any thoughts? Links?

    I have a badly deviated septum that is totally blocking my airways; both of them to be precise. I have crooked teeth as well. I'm a mouth breather and my overall quality of sleep is extremely bad. I can't sleep more than five to six hours at night and sometimes I'm waking up in the middle of the night for no good reason. My sleep is fragmented. Not to mention that I wasn't breastfed. My parents raised me with a "Baby Formula" and with a diet rich in refined carbohydrates. They never gave me the vitamins and minerals I so badly needed. Most of the time I feel depressed, moody, irritated, suicidal, hopeless, and extremely tired. My eyes look tired and they hurt a little. I can feel a non-intense form of pain in my brain that is constantly bugging me. I'm 28 years old and I felt this way my whole life. When I was in school, I couldn't pay attention to anything because of my "ADHD" problem; I was extremely inattentive and restless. My teachers saw me as a moral failure. When I think about my life, I'm surprised that I made it so far... I don't know how much I have left to live, but the rest of my life seems unbearable, like a burden that is almost impossible to be tolerated. There are tens of millions of people, many of them children who go through the same thing but not so many people seem to notice. Those who are running our medical systems don't give a damn about 'Orthodontic Education'. Millions of people are intensely suffering. It's more than a severe form of suffering; it's a living hell. And I believe that if we go on like this, Western civilization will fall in no more than a few decades. We have to work with talented engineers, including scientists, to build a device that forces our faces to develop properly. We, the people, have to mobilize ourselves and do it, because our governments abandoned us.

My dad would say all the same things as you mentioned about table manners and posture but also take it a step further with walking and running, probably more influenced from his time in the military. My mum however taught Thai posture which is all very much the same idea with keeping your back straight but due to some cultural differences more emphasis will be made with how you sit on the floor, lie on the ground and stand. What I noticed about that is the Buddhist monks we'd visit (as we were Lay Buddhists), would all have the same posture as what my mum tried to teach me and thinking about it now that might even hark back to an older time.

    I need help with mewing.
    When I try to get my tongue on the roof of my palate, I need to suck it up there. It's literally impossible for me to push it up without sucking. The problem is, when I suck it up, I suck on my cheeks a little bit. Not enough to cause any visual difference from the outside, but enough to have caused bumps on the inner side of my cheeks from all the contact with my teeth. I don't know if I'm even supposed to do this, and if it will prevent the baccinator muscle from atrophying and giving me hollow cheeks. I'm relatively new to mewing, about 2 weeks or less
    I tried dragging my cheeks away and sucking my tongue up without sucking the cheeks, but it's impossible. In order to create the vacuum on the roof of my mouth I need to turn my whole mouth into a vacuum and thus suck in my cheeks.

    That being said, it's a good bet that other traditions encourage good habits through different methods (heck, a lot of people don't even eat off of elbow-height tables, and there's something to be said for that). I tend to believe, and most of my fellow Anthropologists agree, that most cultural traditions arise in an effort to encourage good health for individuals because that fosters a stable social environment.

I used to get pain in my lower teeth which I think was them pushing together due to not doing all of the above properly and now this has gone completely. You are a very good man for spreading this message despite the fact that there is little money in it compared to an orthodontist who may do more harm than good and many other parts of modern medicine.
