Yoga is an excellent way for us to reduce the effects of aging on our bodies. In fact, the entire yoga philosophy revolves around the idea that our flexibility helps to determine our age, not the actual number of years that we've been alive.
Experts say that yoga helps to improve our flexibility, relieve stress and tension and even that it can help to prevent wrinkles by tightening up our skin. That's right, a face lift is not our only option, we could do some relaxing yoga instead.
Also, those of us who do yoga generally do not have any of the bad habits that can cause us to age faster, such as smoking or drinking excessively.
Since yoga relieves stress and strengthens our bodies, it naturally follows that it makes us feel younger, more alert, raises our mental capabilities and boosts our immune system. Having a healthy immune system, in turn, means that we get common illnesses, like colds, less often and, when we do get sick, we usually don't stay sick as long as we might otherwise. Yoga also helps to prevent us from getting other, more serious, illnesses.
Another great benefit of yoga is that it can even improve our vision and hearing. How does it do that, you ask? That's simple! Our vision and hearing depend quite a bit on how well our blood supply is getting to our eyes and ears. That blood supply to come up through our necks. The problem is, as we age our body loses flexibility inside and out so our necks can constrict and block off the blood flow in spots. This can make it harder for our eyes and ears to work properly. Exercising with yoga techniques can help to increase the entire body's flexibility, including in our necks, and make us able to hear and see better.
We've all heard the statement "A healthy body is a happy body." Well, it's true! By doing yoga our bodies get healthier and we will be feeling happier and more energetic all the time. This is just an added benefit of yoga.
Besides yoga, other forms of meditation, stress reduction and exercise can also help us to live longer and feel better as well.
