Article Synopsis
- The study followed a 66-year-old Chinese man who practiced passive handstand exercises for 40 years to evaluate long-term effects on health.
- Improvements were observed in his cerebrovascular health, cervical spondylosis, mental health, and visual acuity.
- The findings suggest that long-term passive handstand exercise can enhance vascular elasticity and may help in delaying aging signs, indicating it could be beneficial for broader public promotion.
