A new study has recently made headlines on every news station and addresses pretty much anyone and everyone with a cellphone.

Please note the angle of your head and neck when using your device, is the warning being sent to every mobile user. Why? Turns out the results of not paying attention to this often overlooked detail can have detrimental affects for your health.

ABC News reports that a new study shows looking down constantly to check your phone, send a text message, post a new status, surf the web, send emails, or play games can put a real burden on your neck and spine, as this bad form of posture is unnatural for the human body.

A proper angle for the head and neck is at 0 degrees, as seen below.

Experts suggest if you want to alleviate the added pressure you're putting on your spine by constantly looking down at your phone, then you should try bringing the phone up to eye level so that your neck stays at a neutral angle.

Looks like the warning from parents to always stand up straight is again, the best advice you can always remember to use!
