I'm amazed at how much better I feel with my shoulders retracted. I breathe better, for one thing, and that's not a minor consideration in overall health. (Also, it ups the va-va-voom factor, for what that might be worth.) As I was stuck all day today sitting in a training seminar, I noticed that by keeping my shoulders back and down, and my arms at my sides whenever practical, I felt more awake the whole day. That has to be an oxygen and blood-flow thing, I think.
