Yoga, with its positive effects on the endocrine and nervous systems, can also be beneficial in dealing with the discomforts of menopause. Tapping new sources of energy at any age In just a short amount of time, specially adapted yoga exercises can awaken the body’s power of regeneration, leading to more energy, enhanced physical well-being and a more positive attitude towards life. - Many complaints associated with ageing such as sleeplessness, lack of drive and initiative, insufficient circulation and digestive trouble can be corrected. – Yoga is a superior form of weight-bearing exercise for preventing osteoporosis: Bones grow stronger in response to use. In the presence of adequate supplies of calcium in the diet, bone growth is stimulated by any activity in which bones bear weight or muscles pull them. Yoga stimulates bones throughout the body. In Yoga the weight is systematically applied to bones in the hands, arms, upper body, neck and even the head, as well as the feet and legs. Because yoga postures are learned gradually, the weight applied to the bones increases safely, incrementally as the student becomes stronger and can hold postures for longer periods of time. Bones continue a healthy process of regeneration and remain strong. - Yoga prevents and helps to overcome arthritis: Regular gentle movement helps reduce pain and maintain mobility Yoga based exercises expand range of motion without stressing or straining joints. - Movement increases circulation which, in turn, reduces swelling and increases delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the joint tissues to facilitate their healing. - Breathing and relaxation techniques used in yoga help to relieve stress and tension. |
Benefits of Cardio Workout:
- Improves cardiovascular health. Aerobic exercise is recommended by the American Heart Association and by most doctors to people with, or at risk for, heart disease. That’s because exercise strengthens your heart and helps it more efficiently pump blood throughout the body. Cardiovascular exercise can also help lower blood pressure, and keep your arteries clear by raising “good” high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and lowering “bad” low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels in the blood. - Lowers blood pressure. Cardiovascular exercise may help you manage symptoms of high blood pressure. That’s because exercise can help lower blood pressure. - Helps regulate blood sugar. Regular physical activity helps regulate insulin levels and lower blood sugar, all while keeping body weight in check. - Reduces asthma symptoms. Aerobic exercise can help people with asthma lessen both the frequency and severity of asthma attacks. (You should still talk to your doctor before beginning a new exercise routine if you have asthma, however. They may recommend specific activities or precautions to help keep you safe while working out) - Reduces chronic pain If you have chronic back pain, cardiovascular exercise — specifically low-impact activities — may help you get back muscle function and endurance. Exercise can also help you lose weight, which may furtherreduce chronic back pain. - Aids sleep If you’re having trouble sleeping at night, try cardiovascular exercise during your waking hours. A study on individuals with chronic sleep issues revealed that a regular exercise program combined with sleep hygiene education is an effective treatment for insomnia. - Regulates weight You may have heard that diet and exercise are the building blocks to weight loss. But aerobic exercise alone may hold the power to help you lose weight and keep it off. - Strengthens immune system. Regular and moderate aerobic exercise increases certain antibodies in the blood called immunoglobulins. That ultimately strengthens the immune system. - Improves brain power. Did you know that the brain starts losing tissue after you reach age 30? Scientists have uncovered that aerobic exercise may slow this loss and improve cognitive performance. Aerobic exercise does the body and brain good! - Boosts mood: Moving your body may also improve your mood. You don’t need to wait almost two weeks to see improvement. Even a single exercise session may be enough to give you a boost. |
