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.
It is reported that in order to improve students' intelligence, some primary schools in Japan make students stand upside down for five minutes every day. After handstand, students generally feel refreshed and clear-headed. Because of this, medical experts attach great importance to handstand: five minutes of handstand is equivalent to two hours of sleep. Other countries, such as India, Sweden and the United States, also actively advocate people to do handstands every day. The handstand fitness method is very popular abroad.

Long-term adherence to regular handstands can bring three major benefits to the human body:

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.
