The health benefits of yoga.

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.
When you start to feel good, look young and develop your full potential, these positive mental and emotional States will naturally appear.
