The response of the body natural relaxation is a powerful antidote to stress. Relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation and yoga can help you activate this relaxation response. When practiced regularly, these activities lead to a reduction in your daily stress level and boost your feelings of peace and calm. They also help you learn to stay calm and collected when life throws you a curve ball. The stress response floods your body with chemicals that you prepare for “fight or flight.” But while this response is useful in an emergency where we must be alert, chronic stress wears you down. On the stress or severe, even in the best fit loses the ability to adapt. When stress invades our coping resources, our body and mind suffer. Science is constantly about the impact that stress has on your overall health. Recent research suggests that for 60-90 percent of disease is stress related. The physical wear and tear of stress includes damage to the cardiovascular system and immune system suppression. Stress can cause health problems MIRIAD, your ability to fight disease and infection, throws your digestive system out of equilibrium, it is difficult to conceive a baby, and may inhibit growth in children. For cons-balance the stress response, we need to learn to activate our bodies relaxation response brings your system back into balance, deepen your breathing, reducing stress hormones, which slows the heart rate, pressure drop, and relax your muscles. Yoga is an excellent stress relief technique. This is a series of two mobile and fixed poses, combined with deep breathing. The mental and physical benefits of yoga provide a natural counterbalance to stress and strengthens the relaxation response in your daily life. Since injuries can occur when yoga is practiced incorrectly, he is best learned by attending group classes or hiring a private tutor. Once you learn the basics, you can practice alone or with others, adapting your practice as you see fit. Tips for starting a yoga practice: * Consider your level of fitness and medical problems before joining a yoga class. There are many yoga classes for different needs, Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa or Power Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, “hot” or Bikram Yoga (practiced in a hot environment can be too if you are a beginner.) Research the different styles and find one that feels like a good fit. * For the relief of stress, I recommend Hatha Yoga, especially if you are a beginner. * Look for a low pressure environment where you can learn at your own pace. Do not extend beyond what feels comfortable, and always back one posed at the first sign of pain. Listen to your body. A good teacher can show you alternate poses for those who are too difficult for your level of fitness. * Remember, yoga is not to turn yourself into a pretzel. . . It is about finding your own benefit and honor where you are now. Also, try some different classes, each teacher has his own style, if you turned off by one, try another.
