Ways Yoga Improves Health

Forms a healthy lifestyle

For many on a diet, their life revolves around eating less and moving more. The regular practice of yoga will naturally have you moving and as you do, you will be burning calories. Your spiritual and emotional needs will also be met, which can encourage you to take a deeper look at your weight and eating difficulties. You may even be inspired by yoga to be a more conscious eater.

Lowers blood sugar

HDL (good cholesterol) is boosted, LDL (bad cholesterol) is lowered, and blood sugar is lowered through the practice of yoga. For those with diabetes, it has been found that yoga lowers blood sugar in multiple ways: it encourages weight loss, it improves sensitivity to insulin effects, and it lowers adrenaline and cortisol levels. By lowering your blood sugar levels, you decrease the risk of diabetic complications such as blindness, kidney failure, or heart attack.

Helps you to focus

Focusing on the present is an important part of yoga. It has been found in studies that with regular yoga practice, there is improvement in memory, reaction time, IQ scores, and coordination. It's been demonstrated by those who practice Transcendental Meditation, that they have the ability to recall information better, acquire information, and solve problems more easily. This is most likely because they are not distracted by their own thoughts, which, as you know, tend to be a disruption when trying to solve a problem.

Yoga lowers your blood pressure

For patients having high blood pressure, Yoga might be a plus. Two different studies on hypertensive patients examined the difference between simply lying on a couch and taking the Savasana (Corpse Pose).
