SUPPORT YOUR HEALTH WITH YOGA?

Since mankind has entered our planet the Earth 2 ½ million years ago strictly based on natural laws, man has also learned how to support health and recover from illness – naturally. Wherever man went ashore. Not only in the Middle East, as it is documented in the Holy Bible more than 2000 years ago. Also in India where folks identified, inter alia, yoga for their physical, mental and spiritual health and which has finally reached also our civilization. Not as an alternative to our own natural health modalities but as an addition. Just read on to learn about yoga's specific health benefits. All scientifically validated.

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND

Since mankind entered our globe the Earth 2 ½ million years ago, our existence is strictly based on natural laws. I.e., support and recovery of our health is only possible with natural remedies and modalities.
 
While we find details about in our Holy Bible already more than 2000 years ago, we can track these basics of our existence also in other cultures thousands of years ago. E.g., in the Indus-Sarasvati civilization in Northern India where, inter alia, Yoga is originating.
 
It is a physical, mental and spiritual practice of wellbeing which has been exported also to to our Western civilization, with certainly some health benefits we may briefly cover in this blog. Not to fill a gap – we do have certainly our own certified practices of wellbeing – but as a potential international enrichment.
 
Practiced by more than 14% of adults and more than 8% of children today in the U.S. with benefits of, inter alia,
 

• Improving sleep quality
• Animated to eat more healthy
• Encouraged to practice physically
  

YOGA’S WELLBEING ISSUES – SCIENTIFICALLY VALIDATED
 

Even more, as follows briefly, and rounded up with conventional medical validation in our civilization.
 
Inter alia…..

Anxiety Relief

Especially in our ‘modern’ times, the feeling of anxiety happens only too often socially, or as a panic disorder, not to forget about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) we know not only from our brave veterans.
 
This problem may be handled successfully with Hatha yoga with special reference to the higher level of brain chemical gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
 
According to research at, inter alia, Boston University School of Medicine, the University of Massachusetts, and Harvard University – all 3 in Boston, MA – and the Tulange University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in New Orleans, Louisiana. 

Depression Management

Since anti-depressants come with debilitating side effects, natural modalities may well be the answer for more than 17 million adult U.S. citizens in the U.S. alone.
 
Yoga may well be one of these natural alternatives. Like practicing Sudarshan Kriya yoga for 2 months, based on research of, inter alia, Jackson  State University in Jackson, Mississippi, and the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

Stimulating Brain Function

Also in this case Hatha yoga may support our working memory, mental flexibility and mood, also boost our body’s energy level. Even better than aerobic exercise during the same time of one session.
 
Based on research at, inter alia, the University of Waterloo in Canada, Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Illinois.

Stress Reduction

To be stressed usually raises levels of stress hormones such as cortisol, which may damage blood vessels and raise blood pressure.
 
However, according to research at the University of Chile in Chile’s capital of Santiago, practicing yoga for at least 3 months may well relive cortisol.

Relieve Low Back Pain

Some 80% of U.S. adults are suffering from back pain steadily or at some time in their life. This is especially true for active duty military personnel.
 
However, a yoga program of at least 12 weeks- and preferably a couple of months - may well help in this case for the better, and without side effect loaded drugs. Based on research at, inter alia, Harvard School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. 

Preventing Heart Disease

More than 600,000 U.S. citizens die of heart disease each year – number escalating – as the second leading cause of death in the country.
 
As we know now from research at, inter alia, Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, and Narayana Multispeciality Hospital in Jaipur – yoga’s home country of India – yoga may well cut down risk factors of heart disease such as body mass index (BMI), high blood pressure, and cholesterol. Especially in line with aerobic exercise.
 
Also Bikram yoga which is usually practiced in a heated room, can support vascular health in favor of preventing heart disease.
 
Not to overlook the fact that yoga can even

Improve Quality of Life During Illness

on a complementary basis.
 
With special reference to, inter alia, rheumatoid arthritis, stroke, prostate cancer, and ulcerative colitis, according to research at, inter alia, the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA.

IN A NUTSHELL

Since mankind has entered our planet the Earth 2 ½ million years ago strictly based on natural laws, man has also learned how to support health and recover from illness – naturally. Wherever man went ashore. Not only in the Middle East, as it is documented in the Holy Bible more than 2000 years ago. Also in India where folks identified, inter alia, yoga for their physical, mental and spiritual health and which has finally reached also our civilization. Not as an alternative to our natural health modalities but as an addition. As you learned in this blog.
