Healthy Habit #4: Inversion

About a month or so ago, I purchased an inversion table, and have been spending at least 5-10 minutes every day inverted. So far, I’ve noticed that I’m sleeping better, have more energy and my neck & shoulders (where I hold tension - and suffered a shoulder injury last fall) are feeling great. Another interesting side effect is that I’m fairly certain that the hairs on my head are growing faster…which makes sense (more circulation and blood flow to hair follicles, etc.)

I was so excited to hear from my yoga clients that Good Morning America had a segment this past Friday that included a review of the Teeter Inversion Table (which is the brand that I now share my office with). To see the details, go to: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Springtime/story?id=4721108 It received an A- by the reviewer.

Inverting has a ton of health benefits, and you don’t have to be completely upside-down to enjoy these benefits. Here are just a few:

• Reduces back pain
• Relieves stress
• Improves circulation & lymph flow
• Increases oxygen to the brain
• Reduces the effects of aging (helps you keep your height, decongests internal organs, etc.)

Anyway - I’m loving the inversion table - and working up to being completely upside-down. Right now, I’m hanging at about a 45 degree angle and it feels great…For more information on the brand we purchased and FAQs on inverting, go to: www.teeterhangups.com

Well, better go - time to hang upside down…
