What's in Your Bag?
Oversized totes may be a go-to summer fashion accessory, but don’t let the extra-large size inspire you to carry around extra stuff. “I often see people carrying bags that weigh anywhere between 10 to 15 pounds,” says Gerard Clum, DC, president of Life Chiropractic College in West Hayward, California. “Lugging around that kind of weight on one shoulder can cause back and neck pain—even headaches.” To keep your spine in line, limit your purse weight to 1 or 2 pounds and alternate carrying it on both shoulders.
