Anti-Aging Health Benefits of Yoga


A Secret to Happy Life and Foundation to Youth!

One of the simplest ways to a healthy lifestyle is practicing Yoga. It relieves


disease symptoms and improves clinical outcomes. It has no age and can be
practiced anywhere at home or outside.
Yoga doesn’t require any machines or tools, it’s self-contained, and that’s the
best part of it.

Nature’s View
Yoga was born in the woods and developed by observing nature's laws, the
world around us, animals, and the five elements as a whole.

Yoga connects us to nature, and nature has magical healing power. The more
we stay outdoors, our body will grow its immunity naturally, and strong
immunity brings less sickness, which leads us to a healthier and longer life.

Human’s View
The emergence of a number of machines and automobiles in the last century has
greatly reduced the physical demands of daily life.
All these factors have ultimately led to an epidemic of obesity, diabetes,
hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases that reduce life expectancy.
To reduce the risk of diseases yoga must be a habit for all. Yoga is suggested
for each and every organ of the body to function efficiently.

Science’s View
The Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Changes research has proven that the
impact of yoga and meditation on cellular aging helps maintain youthfulness
amongst individuals. It supports bone strength, joint mobility, and joint stability.
In turn, this reduces the risk of injury and bone fractures through improved
posture, muscle strength, coordination, and confidence.
Yoga is also used directly as therapy as it calms your mind. Experts include
yoga in any psychological therapies, especially for psychological conditions
such as post-traumatic disorder, anxiety, and stress management.

Background
Yoga has been studied scientifically since the 19th-century for the physiological
experiments by N. C. Paul.
Researchers by him have found that yoga, meditation, a healthy diet, and
lifestyle, can greatly reduce the fraying of telomeres, the part of our DNA
associated with aging.

Scientist Johns Hopkins viewed some benefits of yoga-like:


1. Yoga improves strength, balance, and flexibility.
2. Yoga helps with back pain relief. Yoga can ease arthritis symptoms.
3. Yoga benefits heart health.
4. Yoga relaxes you and helps you sleep better. Yoga can mean more energy
and brighter moods.
5. Yoga helps you manage stress.
Here Are 5 Anti-Aging Benefits of Yoga:
● Yoga Increases Anti-Aging hormones in the Brain -
A recent study from the American Board of Anti-Aging Medicine revealed that
Regular deep meditation affects the production of three important hormones
related to increased longevity, stress, and enhanced well-being: cortisol (the
stress hormone), DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), a male sex hormone found
in both men and women, and melatonin (a hormone that the brain produces in
response to darkness, hence eases sleep ).

● Yoga Helps us Cultivate a More Flexible, Limber Body -


One of the more apparent benefits of yoga is a more flexible and limber body.
As we get older, our bodies start to stiffen, which indicates a negative effect
where we inevitably suffer the consequences of aches, pains, injury, fatigue, and
more.

● Yoga Encourages Retention of Muscle Mass -


Muscle mass is lost naturally with the aging process.
However, continued yoga practice achieves anti-aging benefits by encouraging
the body to retain muscle mass.

● Light Mind -
As we travel through life, stress naturally pops up and, sometimes, we need a
certain amount of pressure to propel us forward into action.
The anti-aging practice encourages the minds from within, to return to being
light and free, something that can now be achieved at any age.

● Yoga Heals Your Past -


Eckhart Tolle quotes, “Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever
have.” We. Hence, return to realize this to be accurate through yoga and
meditation as we bring youth, vitality, and sustainability to our lives.

Practicing yoga proves scientific, thus giving a natural strength and preserving a
youthful body.
The Novel Approaches to Maintaining Muscle Mass and Strength conducted a
study using two groups of people.

The first group hadn’t ever exercised for at least a year, and the other group was
comprised of yogis who practiced at least twice a week for over a year.

The study revealed that the yogis had lower protein synthesis and breakdown
rates, resulting in more efficient muscle mass maintenance.

Yoga surges anti-aging hormones


DHEA is also known as the Anti-Aging Hormone. By increasing in age, your
body produces less of it, but practicing yoga gives you an ever youth
foundation.

Yoga practice naturally provides your body with this hormone as well as buffers
your body from Cortisol.

Melatonin is the hormone that helps you get sound sleep. Increased melatonin
due to meditation leads to increased well-being during the day and deep sleep at
night.

The International Journal of Yoga published a study confirming that yoga could
impact brain activity, plasticity, and stress reduction.
Yoga practice lowers your cortisol, your stress hormone levels. Hence, lifestyle
diseases and other chronic conditions are modified if you develop tools like
Yoga for self-regulation.
