Benefits of pranayama

Posted on: 21/May/2016 11:01:57 AM
Prana, or breath, is the life force which brings energy into our body. It helps purify our blood and gets rid of toxins. In scientific terms, this life force is oxygen. The practice of consciously breathing is called pranayama.

First, lets look at what a toxin is. In simple terms, a toxin is anything that damages the body. Toxins are in the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe and the lifestyle we lead. The toxins are mixed with our bloods and are stored in parts of our body. As the toxins build over  period of time, we experience ailments. These ailments can be as simple as a stress, headaches and joint pain and then possibly build up to more serious diseases.

The practice of pranayama rids the body of these toxins. Pranayama helps strengthen the lungs. We need to keep our lungs strong and fit to be able to breathe with ease. This extra oxygen we pump into your lungs and blood stream, helps relieve stress, calms the nerves, the mind and keeps the body feeling cool and supple. When you continue the practice for years, your skin will be youthful; your body will feel lean and strong. In addition, the appetite becomes balanced, and you will eat only what your body requires. The more you practice, the more your nadis (nasal passages) open up, are cleansed and are able to take in the oxygen needed.
