By practicing yoga to prevent and treat diseases, the body can achieve a balanced and healthy state. By practicing yoga posture, pranayama, deep relaxation and meditation, the symptoms of many diseases in the body can be alleviated, thus promoting the recovery of some diseases in the respiratory system, nervous system, endocrine system, cardiovascular system, digestive system, reproductive and urinary system, lymphatic system and immune system. In addition, yoga can also enhance flexibility, increase strength and improve human immunity.
Yoga is an ancient and profound art, which includes a series of movements, pranayama and meditation, which can help you purify your body and mind, eliminate stress and realize your pursuit of health and thirst for healing power.
Long-term practice of yoga posture, pranayama and relaxation can prevent all diseases, especially diabetes, hypertension, eating disorders, arthritis, arteriosclerosis, varicose veins, asthma and other chronic diseases. Research shows that people who practice yoga for a long time know how to control their body temperature, heart rate and blood pressure better than ordinary people. In recent years, the medical community has confirmed that yoga can effectively regulate the nervous system and endocrine system, thus improving the overall health of individuals. At present, yoga has been applied to the treatment of AIDS. Its psychological and spiritual influence is also used to improve the mental health of prisoners, help them reduce mental stress, fear and aggression, and improve their ability to return to society. The benefits of yoga are numerous. When we understand that physical, mental and spiritual health cannot be treated separately, we will naturally have a more thorough understanding of the whole life. The ultimate goal of yoga is to broaden personal consciousness and let us know more about the meaning and value of present life. Yoga emphasizes deep breathing and conscious relaxation, activates parasympathetic nerves, thus enhancing the body's "rest and recovery" function. In fact, the latest research shows that yoga can reduce cortisol levels in the blood that cause tension and stress. Yoga meditation practice can help us reduce our sensitivity to the factors that lead to tension and stress, and can reduce the depth of reaction. Yoga can also teach us to regard the potential factors that lead to tension and stress as challenges rather than threats, so as to avoid being troubled by tension and stress.
Yoga can not only stimulate parasympathetic nerves, relieve stress, let the human body cope with diseases, but also enhance the innate self-healing ability of the human body. Inverted, twisted and squeezed yoga postures can accelerate the circulation of blood and body fluids, not only accelerate the transport of needed substances to the affected parts to ensure the self-healing of the human body, but also stimulate the lymphatic system to maintain normal immune function and inflammatory response. Increasing postures can also enhance muscle strength and increase its flexibility and range of motion, which is very important for the treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal diseases such as arthritis and osteoporosis. Yoga emphasizes deep breathing and backward bending, increasing vital capacity and enhancing lung function. Yoga practice also encourages people to correct their behavior by improving self-awareness and strengthening self-discipline, so as to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Although yoga practice can strengthen our physique, achieve the purpose of fitness, and let us deal with some diseases at the same time, we should also clearly see that yoga can be used as an auxiliary or supplementary therapy, and its role is not omnipotent, so we must not blindly worship and superstition.
