Increased irrigation of the cerebellum results in better coordination and balance. As such, inversion may become an indispensable tool, particularly for dancers, gymnasts, figure skaters, boxers, wrestlers and anyone else engaged in an athletic endeavor requiring sophisticated movement and superior coordination. Inversion stimulates endocrine gland activity, particularly the pituitary, hypothalamus and thyroid. These glands regulate our entire metabolic activity and our metabolism improves when these glands are better nourished and decongested with the aid of inversion. The liver and digestive system experience healthful stimulation when inversion is practiced.
Inversion helps drain the liver of accumulated venous blood.
When the liver is decongested in this way, the influx of additional oxygenated blood improves digestive function. Kidney, stomach, colon, intestines, all benefit from inversion. As digestion and peristaltic action are improved, constipation is often relieved without recourse to laxatives. The lymphatic system receives little attention, yet it is of utmost importance to long life and good health. The lymphatic-immune system carries out a number of activities, including the restoration of lost plasma protein in the blood circulatory system.
