Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 30 year old female. I have been considering taking up yoga as a way to improve my overall well-being, but I would like to know more about its potential benefits and how to get started. Could you provide information about the health benefits of practicing yoga? I am particularly interested in understanding how yoga can improve flexibility, strength, balance, and mental clarity. Additionally, I would like to know about the different types of yoga styles available and how to choose the one that aligns with my goals and fitness level.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.

I do understand your concern.

Do not worry,

Yoga and Pranayama are excellent natural exercises originally developed by saints. It is best to practice them in the morning after defecation. You can learn these techniques from experts. Yoga and Pranayama offer a wide range of benefits, including:

  1. Strengthening the immune system.

  2. Improving posture and muscle tone.

  3. Alleviating pain.

  4. Assisting in the management of autoimmune conditions.

  5. Enhancing the functioning of the cardiovascular system, central nervous system, renal system, and gastrointestinal tract.

  6. They can also help manage conditions like mild diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism.

The best part is, you can start these practices at any age, and it is advisable to begin gradually.

If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

We look forward to serving you once more and invite you to contact us whenever you need a professional medical opinion.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
