Yoga has been linked to numerous health advantages for the body, many of which have been supported by studies.
Yoga, which is known to strengthen the mind-body connection, offers a holistic approach to healing, particularly for those who cannot afford to train intensively.
Every year on June 21 ( International Yoga Day), Prime Minister Narendra Modi holds a special event to demonstrate the effects of yoga in our daily lives.
One of them is the beneficial benefits on gastrointestinal issues. Certain asanas can help people with digestive issues improve their digestion.
Gastrointestinal (GI) problems not only cause noncommunicable diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, but they also induce mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, stress, and decreased central nervous system functioning.
Dr. Rajeev Rajesh, Chief Yoga Officer at Jindal Naturecure Institute, discussed how yoga may help with digestion and the finest asanas for increasing metabolism.
“Indigestion, bloating, and constipation are common digestive problems that can be aggravated by stress. Deep breathing exercises, meditation, and relaxation are all parts of yoga which help lower stress. Your body can better digest and absorb nutrients from the food you eat when you’re calm,” said Dr Rajeev Rajesh.
Some yoga postures assist digestion by increasing blood flow to the abdomen.
Improving blood circulation ensures that the digestive organs receive a proper amount of nutrients and oxygen, allowing them to work optimally.
Dr. Rajesh added that several yoga asanas, such as twisting, bending, and stretching, stimulate the digestive organs.
“These motions massage the organs, improving their functionality and aiding in the removal of toxins,” the expert said.

Pavanamuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose)
