Circulation: Circulation of Blood and Nutrients
A lot of things can bring stress to our mental, physical, and spiritual self, but there's nothing a good Yoga couldn't fix.
We may not be aware that even the simple things we encounter everyday that bring stress to us can cause major complications like instantaneous surge in heart rate, high blood pressure, sweating, shallow breathing, muscle tension, and reduction of blood flow to the internal organs. Thanks to Yoga Exercises, just deep breaths and relaxation of the skeletal muscles will allow the blood to travel to the digestive, reproductive, glandular, and immune systems. Thus, giving way for a better circulation of blood and nutrients in the body.
Yoga requires the practitioner to take long deep breaths, conscious relaxation, and concentration, which has been proven to decrease the level of stress hormones and cortisol in the blood. Other poses in the Yoga Exercise can also enhance the circulation of blood and body fluids in the different parts of the body to maintain the normal functioning of the immune system. This will allow the body to heal by itself. Yoga also promotes a healthier lifestyle to the practitioner since it requires discipline and self-awareness during the session.
We could avoid disorder in the body if the blood flow to the organs is well kept up. Here are some points on how Yoga can be beneficial in regulating a healthy circulation of blood and nutrients in the body:
- Standing Poses - In these poses, the lateral wall of the heart is completely stretched and toned up so that there would be a healthy blood flow on the walls.
- Inverted Poses - Since the body is used to standing erect all the time, the lymphatic system of the legs and muscles that help in pumping the blood upward can get rest in this position. These exercises will also avoid tissue degeneration because it allows proper circulation of blood in the brain.
- Horizontal Poses - The blood pressure can be reduced in performing horizontal poses since the heart and lungs are rested, rejuvenated, and well-ventilated.
- Bending Poses - When these poses are done without strain, they can improve blood supply to the myocardium and will surely tone up the cardiac muscle.
If one could learn the proper way of doing the Yoga exercises, it will definitely help in preventing serious complications due to restricted blood flow in the body. Instead of taking lots of medication, try to do the natural way of enhancing the mental, physical, and spiritual self through these Yoga Exercises.
