			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--adsense-->What can <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6oj9x">inversion</a> do for you? </p>
<p>Did you know that you are physically<br />
shorter in the evening than in the morning<br />
(or after sleeping)?</p>
<p>Why?  &#8211; You might be surprised to learn that<br />
it is due to the discs in your spine!</p>
<p>Imagine those little discs getting squished all<br />
day long.  All that weight bearing and holding<br />
yourself up against gravity causes moisture to<br />
be squeezed out of the discs. </p>
<p>This results in a net loss of height during the<br />
day.</p>
<p>During the night, while you sleep and because your<br />
spine is no longer bearing vertical weight, the<br />
discs reabsorb moisture and are thicker in the<br />
morning. </p>
<p><a href="http://tinyurl.com/6oj9x">Inversion tables</a> &#8211;<br />
can help to counteract that problem. </p>
<p>A table can allow you to &#8211; go vertical -<br />
and<a href="http://tinyurl.com/6oj9x"> give your spine a major break</a>. </p>
<p>Not only will your spine be happier but you<br />
will be too.  It actually feels pretty good<br />
to be upside down for a period of time.  </p>
<p>Blood and oxygen can move to the head and that<br />
increased flow can give you a more awake, more<br />
alive feeling.  </p>
<p>You&#8217;ll feel refreshed.  </p>
<p>My friend Clint has an inversion table<br />
and I tried it out. </p>
<p>It really does feel good to get on it for a<br />
couple of minutes. </p>
<p>If you are daring you might even do a few sit-ups<br />
while inverted &#8211; its a neat twist to being upside<br />
down and doing sit-ups!</p>
<p><a href="http://tinyurl.com/6oj9x">Inversion tables  </a></p>
<p>You can experience relief from back pain<br />
by using inversion tables, others have &#8211; and you<br />
can or someone you love can too.</p>
<p>Be sure to discuss with your physician before<br />
getting or using an inversion table. </p>
<p>Until next time, all the best, </p>
