Is it healthy to walk backwards?
Walking backwards will help your health, but it is not advisable in more cases.

Although some studies have shown that walking backwards can mobilize people's body, some muscle groups that don't exercise regularly, increase the amount of exercise and improve our health in an all-round way. But this beneficial effect only accounts for a part, and his shortcomings are obvious.

In the process of human evolution, all tissues of the body have their significance and value. The organizational structure that is rarely mobilized in normal exercise shows that their significance is to play an auxiliary role in our body balance, and especially intense exercise will not have any obvious effect. But also changes the habit of normal physical exercise, and may also cause damage to normal muscles and organs.

People can't pay attention to the situation behind them when walking backwards, and it will be difficult to master the balance. Therefore, when doing these exercises, the body should reverse the habits it has developed before and re-adapt to this alternative way. This process will be more painful in the early stage. In order to maintain the balance of the body, our cervical spine will bear more pressure, and it will cause some damage to our ankles and knees. Proper trying is slightly beneficial, while long-term exercise does more harm than good.

In ancient China, there were many theories about health preservation. In Huangdi Neijing, it has been suggested that health preservation is to conform to the needs of the body, the weather and the climate, so that the body can coordinate with the operation and changes of heaven and earth, and achieve the realm of harmony between man and nature. Any reversal of these needs is a loss to our health. Too much loss will affect our health and even shorten our life.

For example, in sleeping position, modern medical theory thinks that the best way is to lie on the right side, saying that this will not oppress our heart, and the blood circulation will be smoother when sleeping, which is good for the body. But many times, we find that sleeping in one posture often brings great pressure to the body. I used to sleep on the right side and found that it had a certain adverse effect on the facial nerve and ear function of the right face. I haven't felt the benefits of this sleeping method yet, but I obviously feel his shortcomings.

In China's ancient Taoist theory, there are many explanations about sleeping methods. Some widely circulated ancient books describe that sleep should meet the needs of one's body and find one's most comfortable posture, which will help deepen our sleep. Good sleep can make our body recover quickly, make us full of energy and blood, and naturally we will be healthy.

As can be seen from the above theory, not all exercise modes are suitable for us. If you feel that this exercise mode makes you uncomfortable, or you can't get spiritual pleasure from it, then give up decisively and find the exercise mode that suits you best. It's the same with walking backwards. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Don't be too reluctant.
