Anti-Ageing Benefits of Yoga
In the present times, very few people retain their strength
and vitality till the middle age. More and more people we come across look much
older than they actually are. Talking about aging, there are several factors
that leads to ageing (apart from age) - misuse of the body, over-exaggeration of
the mind, non-nutritious foods, poor posture while working, sedentary lifestyle,
and so on. However, you would be happy to know that our body has the unique
ability to renew or regenerate at the cellular level. The best way to attain
this would be by practicing yoga regularly.
Benefits Of Yoga In Anti Ageing
Practicing Yoga = Fit Body = Active Mind = Glowing Skin = Anti Ageing
Yoga acts positively in maintaining the health of the human body. One of the
most prominent benefits of Yoga is the ability to be young once again. Apart
from revitalizing the mind, Yoga rejuvenates the body as well. People, who
constantly practice Yoga, have found immense benefits from it and feel better
than what they felt in their younger years. There is a very famous concept in
Yoga philosophy. According to it, a person's age is determined by the
flexibility of his spine, not the number of years he has lived.
Yoga helps in slowing down the aging process, by providing elasticity to the
spine, firming up the skin, removing tension from the body, strengthening the
abdominal muscles, eliminating the likelihood of a double chin, improving the
quality of loose arm muscles, correcting poor posture and so on. Thus, of the
numerous benefits of Yoga, anti-ageing is an important one. All you need is
patience (remember, there is no one day benefit policy!!) and the determination
(you need to be strong willed to practice everyday) to practice Yoga.
Yoga increases the mental competence in a person, making him/her feel younger.
It possesses the power to fight the internal as well as the external diseases
and dangers. This is the key to help an individual to live longer. There are
various types of Yoga, of which Hatha Yoga basically aims at making people live
long. Some of the anti-ageing properties of Yoga are long life, increased
resistance to diseases, increased vitality, and rejuvenation of glands, looking
young, improvement in vision and hearing and many other mental and emotional
benefits.
Remember, there is no magic potion that can extend the longevity of life. If
there is any key to longer healthy life, it has to be Yoga. One can successfully
extend the period of life by constantly following Yogic practices. Even the
tiniest detailing of ageing, such as gray hair can be dealt with Yoga. By
practicing inverted Yoga postures, you can turn back gray hair to its natural
color. These practices also delay the onset of gray hair, thereby making a
person look younger. Even people with the inability to get up on their own, can
enjoy replenished flexibility and freedom from joint pain, by practicing Yoga.
