"   Feeling kinda blah? Stand up straight\u2014it&amp;#039;ll make you feel awesome. No, seriously. According to new research from San Francisco State University, walking with bad posture can make you feel depressed. And it&amp;#039;s not that depressed people walk with bad posture\u2014forcing yourself to slouch makes you feel kinda crappy. For the study, scientists had 100 people walk in a slouched position and then skip down a hallway (skipping forces you to have good posture). A few minutes after each turn, they were asked to rate their energy levels and took a survey that rated their level of depression.  Researchers discovered that people felt more bummed out and had less energy after they walked in a slouched position, but immediately felt perkier when they had better posture. Okay, you&amp;#039;re probably not going to start skipping around work when you need a 3 p.m. energy boost, but it&amp;#039;s definitely worth keeping your posture in check for those moments when you feel sucky.
