There is no doubt that a strong, healthy body is more resistant to stress, both physical and emotional, than a weak and exhausted body.
The fact that our bodies feel better motivates us to walk, run, jog, go to gymnasium, play a sport, and even do sit-ups and pushups, or do aerobics or yoga. The body is truly a marvelous piece of machinery but, like all machines, it is prone to breakdown under unfavorable conditions. With breakdown of the body, mind becomes weak and self-confidence is reduced.
The advantages of yoga
-Yoga asanas offer unique advantages over other systems of exercises. The practice of yoga asanas (postures) and pranayama (breathing exercises) is unquestionably an ideal method to preserve the health and longevity of our body without any harm, fatigue or exhaustion. Simple yoga asanas and walking can be done at any age. Even people suffering from various diseases can practice yoga, whereas most of the other exercises like jogging, running, aerobics and gymnastics are prohibited for them.
Yoga asanas are simple, and can be done literally in a few minutes at any place - be it your home, a park, or even your office. It also requires no equipment and little space. Yoga asanas balance our nervous system and increase the amount of oxygen to our brain thereby improving mental clarity, alertness and physical well being, besides controlling cholesterol levels and reducing weight. The most important benefit of yoga is that it is a physical and mental therapy.
Yoga boosts the brainpower and lower the risk of getting Alzheimer’s (memory-loss) disease, suggests a study from Western Reserve University.
People, who ran, swam, skated, or practiced yoga, are less likely to be stricken by this mind-robbing disorder. Researchers have known for several years that our supply of brain cells inevitably dwindles as we age. But recent studies suggest that not only can we actually generate new brain cells overtime, but may also be able to accelerate the process. All we have to do is get moving.
