Re: The Hammock and the Spine

While I don't know the effects of sleeping on a Hammock, I don't think I have ever been in one for more than a minute or two, I don't think they would be the best for your spine because they would reduce the natural lordosis of you cervical and lumbar spine segments.

As for this part " Tell me, how could it be unhealthy if it is vastly considered luxurious?"
In many parts of the world, including the US, coccaine in considered luxurious. Does that make it healthy?

Also what about plastic surgery for face lifts and breast agmentation. Do those increase ones' health? No.

The reason they are considered luxury is that it is out of the ordinary. In some parts of the world that was the predominant way of sleeping. It was normal and not luxurious. So it isn't always luxury that sells something it is the change from normal.
