Want to improve on your general health being? Here are 5 ways.
One of the most obvious benefits of yoga is improved flexibility. When you are getting started, you probably won’t be able to touch your toes. But once you are regularly practicing yoga, you will notice that these seemingly impossible poses will become possible. Moreover, the aches and pains will start to disappear.
Through yoga, when you improve your flexibility, it can also help you to build strength and balance. When you are stronger, it can protect you from conditions like back pain and arthritis. Additionally, it also helps better your bone health as it can strengthen bones and help protect against osteoporosis.
Practicing yoga daily helps with blood circulation. This relaxation exercise will boost the levels of red blood cells and hemoglobin which carry more oxygen to your cells and tissues. Improving the blood flow can lead to decrease in strokes and heart attacks.
Regular practice of yoga helps not only in burning calories, but also in increasing the level of happiness. Research has indicated that consistent yoga practice can increase serotonin levels (chemical associated with mood) which promote happiness, better memory, and help decrease depression.
Feeling tired all the time? Yoga can help you to relax and to tune down from the hustle and bustle of life as it teaches you to focus on the present and lowers breathing rate which will make you feel calm and comfortable. Too much stimulation is burdening the nervous system which can also affect your sleep. Consistently practicing yoga will slow down the nervous system will promotes better sleep.
