Carrying on the head

Carrying on the head is an activity that some people do around the world. It is a way of carrying heavy objects, like buckets of water or bags of food, on the head that helps to keep the hands free. The person carrying will usually tilt their head slightly forward and place the object carefully on top so that it won't slip off. They will then keep their neck and shoulders completely still and straight, and use their body strength to lift the object and move around with it. This helps them to walk far distances without straining their muscles too much and makes it much easier for them to carry heavy things for long periods of time.
