Everything gets better with
Yoga, including the circulation of blood in your body. Some basic relaxation
exercises in Yoga will naturally make blood circulate in your feet and hands.
Your cells are also nourished with more oxygen to perform better. Twisting poses
in Yoga are said to remove venous blood found in internal organs, allowing
fresh oxygenated blood to come in at the release of the twisted body part.
Venous blood from the pelvis and legs are allowed to flow back to the heart
when inverted poses are taken.
Leg swelling that result from kidney or heart
problem can be relieved in the process. The red blood cells carrying oxygen, as
well as hemoglobin can receive a boost through Yoga practice. It does not end
there, Yoga also thins the blood, causing platelets to be less sticky and
reducing the level of proteins that cause the presence of clots in the blood.
This can be a life enhancer, reducing the risk of strokes and heart attacks
caused by presence of clots in the blood.
