Recently judge of Shark Tank India Namita Thapar She came into limelight for one of her statements, in which she mentioned the health benefits to Namaz. After this statement, debate started on social media. Some people saw it from a positive perspective, while some made it a matter of controversy.
Actually, Namaz is a religious process, but the physical activity and mental concentration during it can affect health in many ways. Experts believe that it involves a combination of light exercise, meditation and discipline, which can be beneficial for both body and mind.
Namaz is light exercise
Standing in namaz, bowing (ruku), doing sajda and then sitting, all these activities activate many parts of the body. This is a kind of light physical activity, which stretches the muscles and improves the movement of joints. By offering Namaz five times a day, the body can remain flexible.
Improve blood circulation
During Sajda, the head is below the heart, which improves blood flow to the brain. This process can help in increasing oxygen supply to the brain. Due to this, improvement in mental freshness and focus can be seen.
Mental peace and stress reduction
Namaz is also a kind of meditative practice, which involves meditation, peace and concentration. Reading Namaz daily can reduce stress hormones and give peace to the mind. It can prove helpful in reducing anxiety and mental pressure.
Improve posture and balance
It is important to maintain the body in correct posture during Namaz. This keeps the spine straight and improves the balance of the body. A habit of maintaining correct posture for a long time can be developed.
Development of routine and discipline
Offering Namaz at a fixed time during the day creates a daily routine. It not only increases mental discipline but also develops the habit of time management. Such a routine also helps in keeping the body’s biological clock balanced.
