Yoga is a Scientific Way to Health Appetite Loss and Non-stop Eating Blood Circulation Centre and Lungs Technique and Principles of Fasting |
Yoga is a Scientific Way to HealthYoga is the art of living and Yogasana is a scientific procedure. This is the only exercise which affects the inmost parts of the body. The health of our body and mind depends on the soundness of the health of our internal organs-the heart, lungs, digestive system, glands, mind, the nervous system, etc. If the organs inside the body are active and the body has adequate resistance power, medicine also acts. Otherwise, the medicine leaves behind toxic effects and gives rise to many new diseases and side effects. Yoga and other Yogic practices awaken the inner strength of the body. While performing Yogic exercise, we turn and twist the body, stretch it tightly and then release it. Through this process, our blood veins and cleaned up and the heart is helped in pumping purified blood into the body and returning impure blood to the heart. The heart has to function constantly. In a span of 24 hours it pumps 8,000 liters of blood in the body and returns the same amount of impure blood to the heart and transmits it to the lungs for purification. The blood then returns to the heart. This routine process goes on until we are alive. We tire after the day’s work, have to take rest thereafter and sleep at night for 6 to 8 hours, but the heart and the lungs continue working even then. Nor are they subordinate to us. We cannot command them to rest. Even so, the heart also needs rest, and there is only one way of giving it rest and that is the heart and veins should be kept clear so that they might easily circulate purified blood through the whole body and pass the impure blood to the lungs for purification. The heart should not have to carry this job by making hard knocks. The organs receive pure blood are strong, active and disease-free. But today heart diseases are very common. The heart has to function by pressing and pushing and consequently neither pure blood reaches all the parts of the body, not is the toxin ejected from the body. As a result the patient’s condition deteriorates and he becomes tense. Yogasana and Pranayama purify the blood vessels, open up the lungs and the muscles becomes elastic. This boosts their contracting and expanding power. They can absorb more oxygen. They burn up the toxins of the body and eject them in the form of carbon dioxide. In order that here Yogasanas and Sadhana may prove more and more useful to the students of Yoga, it has been revised again and again. We hope that those who practice Yoga will derive full advantage from us and extend the benefit to other. |
