His lymphatic system stagnates, causing incomplete removal of toxic waste products from the system and also the potential for a breakdown in his immune system's ability to protect him from lethal disease. If this sounds depressing, it need not. Anyone truly concerned about his or her health can counteract the effects of gravity for a few minutes each day. That's all it takes to undo much of the harm. Turning upside down or inversion, as it is popularly known, allows gravity to treat us like a friend instead of an enemy.
Inversion is a health promoting technique whose benefits have been well accepted for centuries.
Inversion practiced for only a few minutes each day will help to correctly align the spinal column. The lumbar vertebrae and sacrum support virtually the entire weight of the human body above the waist. This area is particularly sensitive to injury because it is subjected to this extensive pressure continually. The traction caused by inversion relieves the pressure, allowing the lumbar to become correctly aligned by returning the discs to their normal contour and resiliency. In most cases lower back pain vanishes in a matter of minutes.
