Abdominal distension after surgery?
Abdominal surgery causes reduction in peristalsis because it usually involves handling the bowels manually - this is the natural response of the bowels, to stop peristalsis. Consequently, gases and fluids accumulate and stretch out the lower bowels (referring to colectomy in this case) which causes the muscles to weaken and so peristalsis cannot continue as normal - this allows more gases to accumulate. In effect, all the accumulated gases causes distension of the abdomen. one way to prevent this is using a nasogastric tube to suction out stomach fluids and gases soon after surgery.

Is standing on your head healthy or unhealthy?
Standing on your head is one of 2 or 3 excellent ways to resolve 'restless leg syndrome'. Remain on your head long enough to 'feel' the blood drain out of your feet and ankles. Pooled blood from standing and sitting all day is heavy and sludgy. Therefore when you sleep your legs are literally "hot, heavy and restless". And in their attempt to cool down and circulate properly, they, by force of nature, kick. Get in bed right after you stand on your head so as not to reverse the benefits of less blood in your feet and you should sleep much better. Standing on your head also turns your organs upside down which can relieve pockets of compressed tissue; which may improve digestion and congested flow of chemical processes. Standing on your head will strengthen your abs and triceps. -alan
