Focus on heart health in preparation for World Yoga Day
World Yoga Day is around the corner, and on this occasion, the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India has given important suggestions regarding heart health. The ministry says that in today’s busy lifestyle, people pay attention to their achievements and income, but often forget to take care of the heart. Heart is the basis of every heartbeat of our life.
Health experts believe that in the race to achieve and do more, we ignore the organ that keeps working continuously. A healthy heart is the key to a happy and long life. The ministry has described yoga, meditation and pranayam as extremely important for heart health.
Yoga and meditation provide mental peace, reduce stress and improve emotional health. Regular yoga practice controls blood pressure, balances cholesterol levels and strengthens the heart muscles. Asanas like Bhujangasana, Shavasana, Anulom-Vilom Pranayam and Surya Namaskar help in improving heart health. These asanas improve blood circulation and keep the heart healthy.
