Shen Fengnian, who used to be the principal of an elementary school, found that his physical strength was not as good as before, and he was often accompanied by coughing and wheezing.
These symptoms made him feel worried, and Li Tao, an old friend who lived in the same Yuge community, saw it.
I was anxious, so I accompanied him to the hospital for an examination.
In the hospital, Shen Fengnian met a young doctor, Zhao Yifei.
After listening carefully to Shen's description of his condition, he made an unusual suggestion.
"Uncle Shen, you might as well try a handstand regimen, this may help your symptoms.
Although Shen Fengnian thought the proposal was incredible at first, he decided to give it a try.
From then on, Shen Feng began his handstand journey.
Initially, the handstand was quite challenging for him when he was a little older.
But with his unremitting efforts and Li Tao's assistance, he gradually mastered the skills.
He practiced at home for ten to fifteen minutes a day, and gradually, he found that his breathing was smoother.
Cough and wheezing symptoms have also been significantly relieved.
Two years later, Shen Fengnian returned to the hospital for a physical examination.
The results were impressed by Dr. Zhao Yifei: "Your lung function and blood circulation have improved significantly!" ”
This result not only made Shen Fengnian ecstatic, but also made him firmly believe in the efficacy of handstand health.
Dr. Zhao Yifei explained that although the handstand may seem simple, it actually has many benefits for the body.
First of all, a handstand enhances heart function because it requires the heart to pump blood throughout the body.
Especially under the action of reverse gravity, it is a benign exercise for the heart.
Secondly, handstands help improve blood circulation in the lungs, which is especially important for Shen Fengnian.
Because when you do a handstand, blood circulation in the lower lungs increases, which improves the oxygen exchange capacity of the lungs.
In addition, handstands can also help regulate the endocrine system, especially for promoting the normal function of the thyroid gland.
The balance of thyroid hormones is essential for maintaining metabolic rate and body temperature.
Zhao Yifei further provided some medical research data to prove that handstand can significantly reduce the occurrence of neck pain and headaches.
This is due to the stretching and strengthening of the neck muscles when doing a handstand.
Studies have also found that people who practice handstands regularly have lower stress levels and better emotional control psychologically.
However, Dr. Zhao also warns that handstands are not for everyone.
In particular, people with high blood pressure, heart disease, or eye disease should consult a doctor before attempting.
If an inversion regimen can bring so many health benefits, then how can we design a safe and effective handstand training program.
Enabling more middle-aged and older people to benefit from it while avoiding potential risks?
First, a comprehensive assessment of the individual's health status, particularly cardiovascular and eye health, is required.
Secondly, handstand training should start with a simple brace and gradually transition to a full handstand, while being guided by a professional
The handstand training plan should include regular follow-up checks to monitor the body's adaptation to the handstand and adjust the training plan in a timely manner.
This includes paying attention to changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and how joints and muscles respond.
Make sure you have medical emergencies in place during the exercise and deal with them immediately if you feel unwell.
This approach not only ensures the safety of middle-aged and elderly people in handstand training, but also maximizes their health benefits.
This personalized, phased approach to training may also encourage more people to try this beneficial physical exercise, thereby improving their quality of life.
