Are Handstand unhealthy for you?

Question

Yeah I mean I know all about handstands being a great workout and all but are they healthy for you? I mean like having blood rush to your head does exactly sound like a good thing. I do about 15+ handstand pushups each day and although its a good workout, I can't help but think it puts to much stress on the brain.

Answer 1

Well, they are not very dangerous if you do them right and arent upside down for long periods of time.  

Answer 2

I don't think they're particuarly bad for you as long as you don't stay upside down for very long periods of time. The most that would happen is that you will get a pretty bad head rush when you get up! Also, they can be bad for you if you don't do them correctly so make sure you have been taught a safe way of doing them by a professional in order to avoid injury.
