The function of yoga inverted pose is to regulate the endocrine system, lymphatic system and immune system of the body, promote blood circulation and revitalize the brain.
I. The endocrine system
Inverted head has a good effect on regulating endocrine system, which can help them bear more pressure. Inverted head can nourish pituitary gland, pineal gland and hypothalamus, which play an important role in endocrine system. The endocrine system uses hormones to regulate the metabolism of cells. Our health depends on the function of these glands. Ashtanga yoga is another kind of yoga, which can also be used to shape the body.
Second, the lymphatic system
Inverted head helps lymph not get stuck in lymph glands. There are many lymph glands in our knees and legs, but because of gravity, lymph will stay in the lymph glands. In addition, the structure of lymph gland is a single outlet valve, and the inverted head will help lymph flow out. Lymphatic glands are places where white blood cells are made, so they are helpful to our immunity.
Third, the immune system
Many people's blood circulation is not very good, resulting in their body tissues can not get enough nutrition, nor can they get new life. Physiologically speaking, handstand posture can strengthen the function of immune system. It can increase the blood circulation in the body, help these nutrient-deficient tissues obtain nutrition and regulate the endocrine system. It can also give the digestive system a proper rest and restore the motivation of abdominal muscles and internal organs. Therefore, turning the body upside down can also put the heart in an anti-gravity position and give it a proper rest.
Fourth, other aspects.
1, eliminate tension. The handstand posture helps the body to counteract and reduce tension. Excessive physical stress may restrict blood circulation. When the whole body takes an anti-gravity posture, it is easy to enter a relaxed state.
2. Revitalizing the brain and increasing the blood supply to the brain can renew the cells of this organ and enhance all intellectual functions. Including memory and motor skills. In addition, the handstand posture makes practitioners pay more attention, thus improving the quality of meditation practice.
