Does standing for a long time have good or bad effects on the body?

The "five strains" in Huangdi Neijing are as follows: long-term vision hurts blood, long-term lying hurts gas, long-term sitting hurts meat, long-term standing hurts bones and long-term walking hurts tendons.

In other words, standing for a long time will hurt the spine, leading to thickening of the lower limbs and easy to suffer from varicose veins of the lower limbs.

Especially women, don't stand in high heels for a long time, which will leave the root of the disease when you are old.

However, in a certain scientific posture, standing for a long time will invigorate qi, dredge meridians and strengthen the body. For example, Xingyiquan, Tai Ji Chuan and many other traditional martial arts, such as Gong Zhuang, as well as the well-known Zama step, are all ways to keep fit.
