What are the benefits of practicing handstand? Disadvantages? How long does a handstand usually take? How to stand upside down for a long time without falling off?
Although the upright posture is a remarkable sign that human beings are different from other animals. However, after human beings stand upright, due to the action of gravity, there are three disadvantages: first, the blood circulation changes from horizontal to vertical, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain and overload operation of the cardiovascular system. Lighter people have baldness, dizziness, white hair, listlessness, fatigue and premature aging; Severe brain diseases and heart diseases. Second, the heart and stomach move down under the action of gravity. It causes many gastrointestinal and cardiac organs to droop, causes fat to deposit on the abdomen and thighs, and produces waist circumference and abdominal obesity. Third, under the action of gravity, the muscles of the neck, shoulders, back and waist bear more loads, resulting in excessive tension, resulting in muscle strain, cervical vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, scapulohumeral periarthritis and other diseases. To overcome the fly in the ointment in human evolution, medicine alone is not enough, only physical exercise, and the best exercise method is human handstand.

Long-term adherence to regular handstands can bring three major benefits to the human body: first, improve intelligence and responsiveness; The second is to delay aging and increase spirit and ambition; The third is to prevent and treat various diseases caused by long-term standing and fatigue, especially cerebrovascular diseases. In daily life, work, study, sports and entertainment, people are almost upright. Under the action of gravity, human bones, viscera and blood circulation system produce the weight-bearing effect of falling, which easily leads to gastroptosis, cardiovascular and bone and joint diseases. When the human body stands upside down, the gravity of the earth remains unchanged, but the pressure on the joints and organs of the human body has changed, and the muscle tension has also changed. In particular, the elimination and weakening of joint pressure and the relaxation of muscles in some parts have certain effects on the prevention and treatment of low back pain, sciatica and arthritis. Moreover, handstand has a good effect on reducing some parts, such as waist and abdomen fat, and it is one of the effective ways to lose weight.

Handstand can not only make people more fit, but also effectively reduce facial wrinkles and delay aging.

Handstand is more helpful to improve people's intelligence and reaction ability. People's intelligence level and reaction speed are determined by the brain, and handstand can increase the blood supply of the brain and the sense of superiority in various situations.
