Although the upright posture is a distinctive mark that distinguishes humans from other animals. However, after human beings stand upright, due to the effect of gravity, three disadvantages have been caused:

The circulation of blood changes from horizontal to vertical, which leads to insufficient blood supply to the brain and overload of the cardiovascular system. The mild ones have baldness, dizziness, gray hair, lack of energy, easy fatigue, and premature aging; Severe cases of brain disease and heart disease.
2. Prolapse and obesity of heart organs
It causes many diseases of the gastrointestinal and heart organs to prolapse, causing fat accumulation in the abdomen and thighs, resulting in waist circumference and abdominal obesity.
3. Aggravation of cervical spine, lumbar spine and other diseases
Under the action of gravity, the muscles of the neck, shoulder, back and waist bear more load, resulting in excessive tension and aggravation of diseases such as cervical strain, lumbar spine, frozen shoulder, etc.

"Hair is blood", which means that the growth of hair depends on the nourishment of blood, and the upward movement of "blood" depends on the promotion of "qi", so when qi and blood are insufficient, dry hair will lose luster.
Numbness of the hands and feet: The
liver stores blood, which can nourish the fascia of the human body and make it move freely. If the liver's qi and blood are insufficient, the hands and feet will be numb, flexion and extension will be unfavorable, and even spasms.

If the spleen is deficient, the biochemistry of qi and blood is insufficient, so it is tired and weak.
