Yoga Exercise To Increase Bone Mass And Stamina

Is Yoga Good For Bones Or Body

Yoga is a one-of-a-kind ancient art form, which has proved to heal the mind, body and soul. It’s been a tried and tested formula for people suffering from bodily imbalances over many centuries. Yoga has such great potential that even today modern medical science struggles to unravel many of its mysteries and therapeutic properties.

In today’s time due to the everyday turmoil, we have somehow lost our ability to stay attuned to our bodily functions. Pretty much like a computer or any machine our body too diagnoses problems in any of the bodily functions and makes us aware of them. Most of us however do not notice these warnings because we are not tuned in to our bodies and are too caught up in our daily busy routines. For example when we get a back strain, we take it lightly and resort to painkillers. It’s only when the condition turns a lot more serious that we attend to it. Anxiety too often turns into depression as we ignore the problem while still remediable. This is where Yoga comes in more than handy and can be the best exercise to the rescue. The Yoga school of thought says that to cure a problem in your body, you must first understand and attend to your body.

One of the major problems we suffer today is prolonged stress on our muscular-skeletal system, particularly our bones and joints. High-impact physical training might be good to certain extent but can prove to be a menace later in life putting tremendous pressure on certain joints of the body. To eradicate this problem, one can use Yoga to foster healthy bone growth and restrict the routine wear and tear of the various joints and bones.

Yoga is the ideal physical exercise for your body particularly your bones. The restorative properties of Yoga enhance bloody supply and also promote the secretion of synovial fluid, an essential lubricating agent for the bones and joints. The various asanas (poses) stimulate a healthy blood supply and essential nutrients for the muscular-skeletal system.

Firstly, a complete Yoga workout will help you align your body and get your balance right. This helps in promoting a healthy bone and joint structure. Secondly, the yoga postures are designed in such a manner that they provide strong resistance to pressure applied thus increasing bone mass and stamina in various positions. There are numerous stretching exercises in Yoga, which promote mobility, flexibility and eliminate or reduce stiffness in various parts of the body. Yoga complements the endocrine and adrenal glands, which help in promoting skeletal formation and at the same time relax various muscle groups and joints in the body. One can only understand the limitless potential of Yoga by a regular and disciplined exercise of this art form.
