The immune system is the body’s protector. It is constantly fighting off viruses and bacteria that can cause us to become ill. Unfortunately, it can become further compromised if we don’t take care of ourselves. Things like stress, not getting enough sleep, and not eating enough healthy foods all take their toll on the immune system. Too many of us take on too much and don’t listen to our bodies when they tell us to slow down. This is another reason why your Yoga practice can be beneficial. Asana and pranayama strengthen your body, and therefore can help to strengthen your immune system. As we know, we cannot control everything, but we can do our best to protect our state of health.
In today’s fast paced world, many people just keep going and going until they hit that proverbial wall. Keeping up a hectic pace all the time isn’t healthy. We’re all busy, but taking the time to practice regularly can help us center ourselves and calm our minds. The gentle stretching of asana practice can help to release hormones in our bodies that not only make us feel good, but also have the ability to fight off infections and other organisms that want to invade our bodies.
