So addictive! This posture will definitely make you "addicted"

The handstand is commonly known as "na da ding", in the Han Dynasty it was called "dao zhi", in the Eastern Jin Dynasty it was called "nixing", in the Tang Dynasty it was called "zaidao", in the Ming Dynasty it was called "shan qinglong", and so on. Inverted fitness has long been practiced and proven in the world and in history by the sports, martial arts, and medical communities. Medical scientists highly praise inversion exercise: standing upside down for five minutes is equivalent to sleeping for two hours. At present, some developed Western countries are actively advocating people to practice handstand every day, especially in the United States, Britain, Sweden, Germany and other places.

In yoga texts, Salamba Sirsasana is called the king of all yoga poses. It is one of the most important yoga poses and is also sought after by many yoga enthusiasts. Salamba means support and Sirsa means head. This is a pose that uses the head as support. Mastering this pose can increase the practitioner's sense of physical and mental balance and self-control.

Why practice handstand? Now let's talk about standing upright. Although the upright posture is a distinctive feature of humans that distinguishes them from other animals, if people stand upright for a long time, due to the effect of gravity, it will bring three disadvantages to the human body:

1. The blood circulation changes from horizontal to vertical, causing insufficient blood supply to the brain and overload of the cardiovascular system. In mild cases, it causes baldness, blurred vision, gray hair, lack of energy, fatigue, and premature aging; in severe cases, it causes brain diseases and heart diseases.

2. Internal organs such as the heart and stomach gradually move downward under the influence of gravity. It causes many gastrointestinal and heart organ sagging diseases, causes fat accumulation in the abdomen and thighs, and produces fat accumulation in the waist and abdomen.

Third, under the action of gravity, the muscles in the neck, shoulders, back and waist bear more loads, causing excessive tension, resulting in muscle strain, cervical vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, periarthritis of the shoulder and other diseases.

Therefore, to overcome the imperfections in human evolution, drugs alone are not enough, but also require physical exercise, and the preferred exercise method is human inversion.

Inversion changes the body's blood circulation, improves blood supply to the head, enhances intelligence and reaction ability, and achieves the effect of refreshing the mind and increasing intelligence.
