Hey kids, Light up!!!!!!!!!

RESEARCH from a medical centre found that school children were lugging books weighing.That is comparable to an 80 kg man lugging a small refrigerator !Children carrying more than 10% to 20% of their weight risk neck and back problems.doctors say. Some notes for the backpackers in your life:
@ Use both shoulder straps to avoid muscle strain and curvature of the spine.
@ Get backpacks with abdominal belts.They distribute weight evenly.
@ Keep heaviest books closer to the body and arm straps comfortably snug,so the pack sits 5cm above the waist.
@Bend using both knees - not at the waist - when wearing or lifting a pack
