London, Europe Brief News – Making Yoga a daily practise helps to enhance flexibility, strengthens the chest muscles and keep the body healthy, a new study reveals.
The holistic, old-fashioned science of wellbeing is called Yoga where it poses are made to maintain a strong and healthy respiratory system since your ability to breathe and take in oxygen is improved when your lungs are functioning effectively.
A vital factor in preventing lung diseases, increasing immunity and maintaining peak physical fitness is having healthy lungs.
According to health experts, making Yoga a daily practise helps to enhance flexibility, strengthens the chest muscles. It further keeps the body healthy.
“Its purpose is to build strength, awareness and harmony in both the mind and body,” explains Natalie Nevins, DO, a board-certified osteopathic family physician and certified Kundalini Yoga instructor in Hollywood, California.
While there are more than 100 different types, or schools, of yoga, most sessions typically include breathing exercises, meditation, and assuming postures (sometimes called asana or poses) that stretch and flex various muscle groups.
“As an osteopathic physician, I focus a lot of my efforts on preventive medicine and practices, and in the body’s ability to heal itself,” says Dr. Nevins. “Yoga is a great tool for staying healthy because it’s based on similar principles.”
Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, or DOs, focus on prevention by examining how your lifestyle and environment impact your health, rather than just treating your symptoms.
