Middle-aged and elderly people are no longer suitable for strenuous and costly exercise because of their aging and degradation. Yoga is soothing and gentle, pays attention to nourishing and strengthening the body, and can cultivate one's morality. Suitable for everyone to practice, especially for middle-aged and elderly people.
General exercise can only stimulate blood circulation, but has no effect on glands, and too much exercise is easy to fatigue. Yoga posture is different from general exercise. It keeps the body in a static posture by slowly contracting some muscles of the body, and then relaxes the whole body, so that the muscles can be completely adjusted and rested, and energy can be stored in the body. In view of this, the elderly or weak people are particularly suitable for practicing yoga poses.
The fitness function of yoga for middle-aged and elderly people mainly includes the following aspects. First of all, when people reach a certain age, their physical functions will show signs of decline, and their arms and legs will become more and more inflexible. Practicing yoga can better help middle-aged and elderly people relax their muscles, strengthen their strength and increase muscle elasticity. Secondly, yoga not only pursues the health and harmony of the body, but also pursues the deep unity and perfection of the mind. Middle-aged and elderly friends have experienced many ups and downs in life, and their mood is not easy to be peaceful. Practicing yoga can play a certain role in regulating their mood. Thirdly, many postures of yoga have auxiliary therapeutic effects on chronic diseases of middle-aged and elderly people, such as hypertension, diabetes, poor sleep, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc.
