The backbending part helps correct high blood pressure. Blood sugar in diabetics and blood pressure can elevate and then normalize with regular practice.
You lose fat by extension, stretching, not by compressing or using strength. When you stretch you disperse and reorganize the lipids in your muscle structure in an optimal way. The metabolism of the lipids is enhanced and you start using reserves of stored energy, so that's why when you do yoga your energy is higher and your appetite is less. Further, the cells become more efficient in the use of energy.
If you can you must, if you can't you try.
The hands to feet pose increases the flexibility of the spine and the sciatic nerves and most of the tendons and ligaments of the legs. It strengthens the quadriceps, biceps brachii and the latissimus dorsi muscles. It also greatly improves blood circulation in the legs and the brain and stretches the gluteus maximus.
