DR. Wei-Penu Zhao

In the last two issues, we had described the general idea of aerobic exercise and its auto rehabilitation effect to muscles and joints. In this issue, we are going to discuss its effect on human viscera and the principle of auto health care.

Long, long ago. some people propose in every evening the best way to rehabilitate you after tired work is standing upside down. Theoretically it is rational. After a whole day fully occupied work, all the internal organs are drooping to certain extent. One will feel back aching and lumbago. On the other hand, the blood and lymph fluid will more or less be detained in lower limbs and lower lumbar and region and back.

After standing upside down, the internal organs reverse to the original position. The returning circulation of blood and lymph will accelerate, while the stagnation in the lower part is reduced. People feel much relaxed and freely. Furthermore, after standing upside down, the blood supply in the brain is increased, so one feels much sober mined, and the fatigue disappears forthwith. The problem is how many people can make a rest with standing upside down. There are too few such cases. Movement mimicking golden fish in reality is a kind swimming on land. The floor or mattress in stead of water will support the whole body so that it does not like swimming in water to consume a portion of work for keeping the body from sinking down. In such case, the oxygen consumption and activity are reduced. If your two legs are lying in a machine rhythmically swinging left and right, then your legs will bring about relaxation and relocation of joints and muscles of your whole body, as we mentioned in last issue. All those after effects (drooping of kidney, stomach, urinary bladder, diaphragm, intestine, liver, spleen and female breast) due to over fatigue and long term chronic weakness will recover the relevant organs to the original anatomical position, if you practice the rhythmical shaking of swimming on land once or twice daily. Human ligaments may be considered just as rubber band, after stretching for a long time, they will never regain their original elasticity and tenacity. Swimming on land can recover the original nature of ligaments, so that they can raise and support internal organs as before. Thus it can replace the standing upside down. As a result, one will feel comfortable, and no more lumbago and back aching. On the other hand, blood and lymph fluid carry Out the action of transport corps for metabolism, nutrients and oxygen are carried to every comer of the body, from where wastes are removed and brought to kidney and intestines, and eventually excreted through urination and defecation. Now, their transportation is pushed through the rhythm of cardiac movement, and is further promoted by rhythmical muscular contraction and returning back of venous blood and lymph fluid. Human body of course feels relaxed and at ease. No wonder some one after doing this exercise sleeps soundly. The free fatty acids do not deposit in the abdomen in these people, these free fatty acids are carried away through consumption - a process to reduce weight irreplaceable by any other measures. With regard to female breast, as a result of the relaxation of the ligament supporting breast tendon and recovery of elasticity once again, young ladies will have a full bust one more. It is a really unimaginable beauty effect. The undesired deposit in abdomen and buttocks will gradually disappear, with the original fitness recovered. This has been proved by tens of thousands of female users. It might be said that this is the ideal approach of reducing weight and making you beautiful. Neither medication nor injection is used in this exercise. This is most appropriate for those with obesity, arthritis, cardiopulmonary patients who are unable to do physical training. It is the most fittest rehabilitation and health care measure today.
