Any irritation in the lining of arterial walls - which includes high levels of fat in the blood, smoking and high blood pressure can trigger heart diseases.
Yoga cure for heart problems
Yoga is an alternative system of healing, its power being widely harnessed to prevent and treat various diseases of the heart.
Yoga has an important role in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases that includes recurrence of heart attacks, hypertension and coronary heart diseases. Yoga influences the hypothalamus directly, the area of the brain that controls endocrine activity, and helps prevent heart attacks.
Vedic wisdom in yoga lays emphasis on four aspects that have a direct bearing on health. They are:
Achaar (character and conduct): It stands for moral virtues - truthfulness, chastity, compassion and kindness.
Vichaar (perception or the way we think): The way we think influences our way of life. Develop a positive outlook in life and remove negative thoughts from the mind.
Vyayahaar (the way we behave):It pays to replace undesirable habits with positive ones. If we fear change and cling to old, negative habits, we cannot succeed in yoga.
Ahaar (diet or the food we eat): Food sustains our body. What we eat affects our mind directly. Intake of proper and healthy food nourishes body and mind. Avoid over- eating and eat in moderation.
Any imbalance in any of these aspects results in disharmony of body, mind and soul. This paves the way for diseases.
In addition, mental relaxation through meditation and yoga contribute immensely in offsetting arteriosclerosis (coronary artery blocked due to the deposition of fats on the inner walls of the heart). Thus, owing to its many positive effects- direct and indirect on the cardiovascular system, yoga assumes a pivotal role in heart care.
Yogic lifestyle can help prevent and cure cardiovascular heart diseases. Proper life-style and diet play a key role in managing and avoiding heart disease. Yoga has a vital role in eliminating the negative impacts of modern living. When one incorporates yoga into their daily routine, it can definitely help in halting the progress of cardiac diseases. The physical activity in yoga enhances cardiac health and promotes a feeling of well-being.
Heart is like any other muscle in our body, which works perpetually. Therefore, it needs to be used and then rested.
