Default What are the advantages of yoga ? - 01-21-2010, 11:03 AM

Hi

Yoga has many advantages over other methods of maintaining health, such as gymnastics, athletics, aerobics, games, and various other forms of exercise. It does not need any costly equipment and materials, or playgrounds, swimming pool, gyms, etc. Yoga can be practiced throughout the year. It can also be practiced inside the house or in the open, singly or in groups. The only requirement is a thick carpet spread on the floor and covered with a clean sheet of cloth. Yoga should only be practiced on empty stomach. You can do it at any time during the day. It will benefit you irrespective of whether you are young or old, lean or heavily built, highly educated or unlettered, rich or poor, from higher or lower middle class, busy, over busy, or retired or worker in the factory or in the field. Yoga has something very valuable, and useful to offer to everyone. It is often described as the best form of health insurance for all from the age of seven to seventy seven or more. Two main advantages of Yoga are prevention of disorders and ailments and maintenance of health and fitness in daily life. Other advantage include flexible muscles, supple joints, relaxed and tension-free mind and efficiently working vital organs such as the heart, lungs, endocrine glands, liver, pancreas and good balance between various functions, such as neuromuscular coordination, etc.

Keep sharing and reading

Thanks

As for the biochemical benefits of yoga, we can enumerate substantial decreases of glucose, sodium, cholesterol, and total white blood cells; and remarkable increases of vitamin C, total serum protein, hemoglobin.Furthermore, various studies revealed that yoga exercises are extremely effective when it comes to increasing the level of joint flexibility, together with the level of lubrication of joints, ligaments and tendons. Another interesting aspect has to do with the fact that yoga is one of the very few techniques, which contributes to 'massaging' all the internal organs and glands - including the ones that are hardly ever stimulated during the lifetime of a person, such as the prostate. The stimulation and massaging of the internal organs proves to be beneficial when it comes to preventing diseases.Moreover, these ancient and efficient techniques facilitate a detoxification of your body. When stretching the muscles and performing a thorough 'organ massage', the nature of the yoga exercises encourages the flow of blood. As a consequence, metabolic by-products and environmental agents are eliminated from your body and certain undesired processes, such as aging, are delayed.As a final remark, all the benefits presented above come in addition to the most important aspect provided by yoga practices, meaning that the harmony and synchronization between body and mind grows. And there develops a growing feeling of inner peace.

Thanks

Yoga helps us relax our body, mind and soul providing us peace of mind. This is something that I have started recently and has proved beneficial to me. Yoga is not enhances the physical health but also the mental health by proving peace of mind. If wish to inspire learning, a healthy lifestyle, the experience of the Light within each of us and to be a step further in the pursuit of truth then yoga is the best teacher. Thus, I could guarantee that I always awoke on the right side of the bed.

We give undue importance to our health and the treatment of diseases. A large number of medicines treat only the symptoms of the disease, and not the root cause. In fact, the cause of many chronic ailments is still being researched.
It is here that Yoga therapy comes to our assistance. Yoga emphasizes treatment of the root cause of an ailment. It works in a slow, subtle and miraculous manner. Modern medicine can claim to save a life at a critical stage, but, for complete recovery and regaining of normal health, one must believe in the efficiency of Yoga therapy.
The Yogic way of life includes a code of ethics, regulations, discipline and more, combined with prayer and meditation. Even a discussion of these subjects helps one relieve mental tensions and change attitudes. Simple Asanas help to stretch and relax the whole body and neutralize tensions. The sincere practice of Yoga postures benefits all levels of experience.
