That seems to be true, as you look around at the people you know who are ageing. Your commentary on how to stretch and keep your spine supple are of great value. I've never tried an inversion table, and I am completely amazed that K-Mart would be selling such a thing.<br /><br />The "Yoga Journal" has many stories of practitioners who have injured themselves doing headstand asanas, so perhaps for most of us, an inversion table would be a much better option.<br /><br />So many of our western diseases appear to be caused by a lack of good circulation. Obviously, vigorous exercise would combat a lot of those problems, but inversion is a even a step further, is it not? One excercise I've learned is to support your lower back, and put your legs up a wall. Putting a weight upon the soles of your feet in that position seems to relieve a lot of pressure as well.<br /><br />I will certainly try not to be a hunched-over, depressed and pathetic person, LOL!Lahanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02172204314829566549noreply@blogger.com
