Numerous Benefits of practicing Yoga on daily basis

  Yoga is a collection of physical, mental, and spiritual practices made in daily routine. It is originated in ancient India. It is a mind and body movement practices having various styles of physical postures, breathing techniques, meditation and relaxation. My experience over the few years encouraged me to observe the studies I’d collected about how yoga can both prevent disease and help you recover from it. Here is what I found.

Improves your flexibility

The first and most noticeable benefit of yoga is flexibility of your body. Well, of course, don’t expect in just few days. This will require years of daily yoga practice consistently. In first few days, your body will feel stiffness, difficult to bend or move. You probably won’t be able to bend down and touch your toes. Don’t worry, do it regularly. After few days, you will see remarkable difference; many impossible poses will become possible. You’ll also probably notice that muscular aches and pains start to disappear.  

Builds muscle strength

Strong muscles can have many benefits on health:

• Ease of body movement which results in better performance of work, everyday activities and exercise.
• Perfect posture which provides attractive personality.
• Stronger tendons and ligaments, and bones.
• Decreased risk of falls or injury.

Strong muscles perform more benefits to our body than looking good. Strength protects us from arthritis or back pain, and help prevent falls in elderly people. And when you build muscle strength through yoga, you balance it with flexibility.  

Corrects your posture

Yoga helps to attain a good posture. Correcting your posture plays an important role in making you fit and healthy. Practicing yoga is one of the perfect ways to correct your posture.  

Prevents cartilage and joint pains 

Our modern lifestyle gives us many side effects. Where, one is having joint pains because of less movement of our body. Each time you practice yoga, you take your joints and bones through their full range of movement. This can help prevent arthritis or mitigate disability by movement of joints as well as “squeezing and soaking” areas of cartilage that normally unused. Joint cartilage is like a sponge; it receives fresh nutrients only when its fluid is squeezed out and a new supply of fluid can be soaked up.

Protects your spine

Spinal disks—the shock absorbers between the vertebrae – crave movement – that’s the only way they get their nutrients. If you’ve got a well-balanced yoga practice with plenty of backbends, forward bends, and twists, you’ll help keep your disks flexible.  

Improved your bone health

It’s said that weight-bearing exercise strengthens bones and helps ward off osteoporosis. Many asanas or postures in yoga require that you lift your own weight, which results in strengthen the bones. Yoga practice increased bone density. Yoga’s ability to lower levels of the stress hormone, which may help keep calcium in the bones.  

Increases your blood flow

Yoga helps your blood flowing. The relaxation exercises can help your circulation, especially in your hands and feet. While performing yoga we tend to breathe In and Out which gets more oxygen to our cells, and function better. Yoga is said boosts levels of hemoglobin and red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the tissues. The blood gets thinner by making platelets less sticky and by cutting the level of clotting in the blood. This can lead to a decrease in heart diseases and strokes.  

Drains your lymph(s) and boosts immunity

When you stretch muscles, move organs around, and perform yoga postures, you increase the drainage of lymph (a viscous fluid rich in immune cells). This lymphatic system helps fight infection, destroy cancerous cells, and dispose of the toxic waste inside our body.

Up your heart rate

Practicing yoga āsana or postures consistently is good for heart health, heart efficiency, and heart rate. Āsana and breathing have been proven to stimulate the nervous system, improve heart rate variability, and decrease the risks of heart attack. Practice yoga to maintain overall good health!  

Drops your blood pressure

If you’ve got high blood pressure, you might benefit from practicing yoga.  

Makes you happier

Yes…! its true. when we practice yoga daily, we got less distracted by our thoughts. Meditation heals depression or anxiety too and makes us happier.  

Founds a healthy lifestyle

Move more eat less—that’s the motto of many nutritionists or dieters. Yoga can help achieve targets of weight loss. A regular practice gets you moving and burns calories, and the spiritual and emotional dimensions of your practice may encourage you to control any eating and weight loss on a deeper level. Yoga may also inspire you to live a healthy lifestyle and become a more conscious eater.

Yoga lowers blood sugar and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and boosts HDL (“good”) cholesterol. In people with diabetes, yoga lowers blood sugar. Get your blood sugar levels down, and you decrease your risk of diabetic complications such as heart attack, kidney failure, and blindness.
