Raise your legs every day & 7 surprising things will happen to your body!

You might be wondering if this pose is safe for everyone, especially older folks or those with certain health conditions. Let’s clear up some common worries.

First off, this pose can generally be done by people of all ages and most physical conditions. It’s pretty gentle.

What about blood pressure? It’s true that your blood pressure might go up a tiny bit for a few seconds when you first get into the pose. This happens to almost everyone, whether they have high blood pressure or not. But don’t worry, this temporary increase usually doesn’t cause any problems for most people. In fact, over time, doing this pose regularly can actually help manage blood pressure in people who have high blood pressure because it promotes relaxation.

However, there are a few important situations where you should be careful or talk to a doctor first:

Recent Heart Issues or Stroke: If you’ve had a heart attack or a stroke very recently (in the last few days or weeks), it’s best to avoid this pose and talk to your doctor first. The same goes if you have very advanced heart failure.
Eye Conditions: If you have glaucoma or have recently had eye surgery, you should also avoid this pose and check with your eye doctor or another trusted professional. The temporary pressure change might not be good for your eyes.
Severe Injuries or Recent Surgeries: If you have a serious injury in your neck, back, shoulders, or knees, or if you’ve had surgery on these areas recently, this pose might not be right for you. Always check with your doctor or a physical therapist to make sure it’s safe.
So, there you have it. “Legs up the wall” is a simple, gentle practice that can bring a surprising number of benefits to your health. It’s a great way to give your body a little extra care and support. Why not give it a try and see how it makes you feel?
