Is crawling good for human body?
Crawling is good for the human body. The benefits of crawling are as follows:

1. Crawling can effectively improve cerebral blood circulation. When crawling, the head often droops, which will guide blood to the brain and increase blood flow to the brain.

2. Crawling is beneficial to systemic blood circulation and has a positive effect on the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Compared with the upright human body, when crawling, because the position of the heart and its upper parts is low, more blood can flow to the heart and its upper organs, which promotes the blood supply of upper limb organs.

3. Crawling can reduce the load of all parts of the body. Crawling fitness can disperse the whole body weight to the limbs to reduce the load of all parts of the body, especially the lumbar spine, so it has certain curative effect on preventing and treating lumbar spondylosis, lumbar muscle strain and various neck, shoulder and spine diseases.

Crawling can make the body stronger. Because crawling is a coordinated activity of the whole body, the muscles, ligaments, bones and even nervous system of the whole body should join in the exercise.

5. Crawling is good for bones. Crawling makes bones harder, which can reduce osteoporosis and make joints softer.

6. Crawling can be good for muscles. Crawling makes muscles more tense and elastic, more developed and able to contract freely.

7. Crawling promotes respiratory function. The coordination of inhalation and exhalation depends on the movement mode when crawling. The faster you climb, the more you breathe deeply.
