Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.

I do understand your concern.

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:

Strengthening the immune system.
Improving posture and muscle tone.
Alleviating pain.
Assisting in the management of autoimmune conditions.
Enhancing the functioning of the cardiovascular system, central nervous system, renal system, and gastrointestinal tract.
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.
