Experts: Self healing techniques of yoga could support healthy aging.
Some women may go to drastic lengths to fight the effects of aging, including crash diets and plastic surgery. However, a panel of experts says that the more conservative self healing techniques of yoga may work wonders, according to an article from Yahoo! Sports.
One of the benefits that can be derived from Hawaii yoga classes is improved circulation, according to Larry Payne, PhD, of Loyola Marymount. Facial exercises, performed for five to 10 minutes a day, can increase blood flow in the face and prevent wrinkles, according to the news source. Certain inversions and upside-down poses could also improve the flow of lymphatic fluid, a mechanism that helps reduce cellulite, as noted in Yahoo! Sports.
Yoga can make the skin look younger as well by relieving stress and improving one's ability to sleep, according to studies cited by the news source.
The American Dietetic Association believes that yoga can make one more mindful of what one eats, which, when combined with the exercises, may help one reach and maintain an optimal weight.
As of 2007, more than 13 million Americans had practiced yoga within the previous year, according to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a division of the National Institutes of Health.
