What are the benefits of practicing yoga? (Concise, with examples)
The healing power of yoga: long-term practice of yoga posture, pranayama and relaxation can prevent all diseases, especially diabetes complicated with hypertension, unbalanced diet, 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.

The following are the benefits of yoga. Be patient. Yoga needs time to show its effect. After a few weeks, you will feel calmer and more focused than before. In a few months, the regeneration of organs and glands will begin.

First, the increase of vitality, the effect of yoga on the brain and glands.

Second, the appearance and mood are young: yoga reduces facial wrinkles and produces a natural "face-lifting" effect. This is mainly because of handstand. Our usual upright posture urges gravity to pull the muscles down. Over time, facial muscles are expelled from the phenomenon of collapse. Standing upside down for a few minutes every day, we can reverse the effect of gravity and make it a boost to our rejuvenation, so that facial muscles will not relax, it will reduce wrinkles and naturally flatten the skin. Yoga handstand posture can often restore the original color of white hair and delay the discovery of white hair. This is because handstand increases the blood flow to scalp hair follicles. This posture increases the elasticity of muscles, eliminates the pressure of blood vessels and nerves in muscles, and makes more blood flow to scalp muscles. In other words, hair follicles get more nutrition and produce more healthy hair.

Third, longevity: Yoga affects all the conditions of longevity: brain, glands, spine and internal organs.

Fourth, increase the ability of disease resistance: yoga exercises to strengthen the body and increase immune function. This enhanced resistance can cope with all kinds of serious diseases, from colds to cancer.

Fifth, improve vision and hearing: Normal vision and hearing mainly depend on good blood circulation and nerve transmission in eyes and ears. The nerves and blood vessels that supply the eyes and ears must pass through the muscles. With the increase of age, muscles lose their elasticity just like other parts of the spine, and nerves and blood vessels may encounter stagnation when passing through the neck. This change hinders the nerve and blood supply of eyes and ears, thus affecting their operation. Yoga posture and yoga neck movement can improve the neck condition, and then strengthen vision and hearing.

Sixth, the improvement of mental mood: Because yoga has the effect of rejuvenating the glandular nervous system, including the brain, mental mood will naturally show a positive state. It makes you more confident, enthusiastic and optimistic. Daily life will also become more creative.
