The slant board has
long been a beauty secret of health-conscious people. It works by
reversing the effects of gravity. The aging process causes the skin,
facial features, and internal organs to droop. When you lie with your
head below your feet, the effects of gravity are reversed, and all the
organs are in a relaxed, suspended position. Blood flows to the face,
neck, and head, bringing nutrients and oxygen to the brain and facial
tissues and improving the complexion. The antigravity position on the
slant board relieves sinus problems and eyestrain and helps to
eliminate wrinkles. It improves circulation throughout the body, and
it is very helpful for anyone with distressed organs. A few minutes on
a slant board in the antigravity position provide a quick pick-me-up,
revitalizing your brain cells and restoring your energy. (If you have
high blood pressure or other medical problems, check with your doctor
before using a slant board. Except for specific cautions, daily use of
a slant board will generally help any health problem.)
If you don’t have a
slant board, you can make your own by covering a board with padding
and securely tacking it down. The board should be longer than you are
tall and at least as wide as your body when your arms are at your
side. Rest the slant board on a stable surface so it is at an angle of
twenty to forty-five degrees, then lie on it with your feet up and
your head down. If you cannot find a board the right size, try
improvising with an ironing board so you can begin to experience the
benefits of the Antigravity Tone-Up.
