Have you ever felt like your health is going downhill faster than you can say “haldi doodh”? Your blood pressure rises every time you check your email, your knees are stiff when you wake up, and your back is threatening to strike back for all those hours spent bent over a screen. Sound familiar? Yeah, we’ve all been there. 

In fact, health problems are more common than you think. Over 95% of the world’s population has health problems, and more than a third have more than five ailments. And there are various causes for such problems to occur like living an inactive lifestyle, old age, injuries, etc.

But don’t worry because in this blog we will learn how yoga can help you in managing some common health issues like diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure, joint pain, flexibility and even mental health, without requiring you to completely change your way of life. You will also find out how Habuild has helped one of our members transform their health with the power of  yoga. So without further ado, let’s dive in!

Yoga For Diabetes

Everyone knows that yoga promotes “relaxation,” but did you know that it also lowers blood sugar? Turns out, that deep breathing isn’t just good for calming your nerves before a big meeting, but it also improves insulin sensitivity.  This is where yoga comes in. A few yoga positions, such as the Bow Pose or Dhanurasana, can help control insulin production by stimulating the pancreas. And when you add some meditation along with it, you will not just be fighting diabetes, you’ll be crushing it!

Yoga for Blood Pressure and Cholesterol

Imagine this: As you attempt to remain composed in traffic, your blood pressure unexpectedly rises to an amount that your physician would not approve of. This is where regular yoga practice can help with blood pressure and cholesterol. Studies have shown that yoga asanas like paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend) are excellent for controlling your tension. Which thereby helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol in your body. It might sound too good to be true but it definitely works! 

Yoga for Flexibility, Knee Pain, and Spine Problems

It’s a fact that spending your entire day at a desk might make you feel like you’re frozen solid. I mean, tense hips, rigid knees, and an irritable back are all just part of it, right? Not true! Yoga is a fantastic way to increase flexibility and reduce joint pain.

Consider the Tree Pose, or Vrikshasana, which is excellent for balancing out arthritic knees. Additionally, try Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose), which feels like a tender hug for your spine. Although it’s not  magic , you will definitely be able to bend over without making a face. Trust me, your joints will thank you.

Yoga for Mental Health

Let’s now discuss the most important one: stress. Whether it be at work, with family, or while we’re trying to pick what to have for dinner (the struggle is real), it’s the silent villain that lurks around every corner. Thankfully, yoga works wonders for your mind in addition to being beneficial for your physical health.

Meditation and breathing techniques (Pranayama) can help you focus better, feel less anxious, and even feel as though you’ve had a little vacation without ever leaving your living room. One of the greatest ways to self care is to improve your health with yoga.

Let us read about what Hanumappa, a regular member of Habuild, has to say about his health transformation:

“My name is Hanumappa Awari. I am 66 years old and a retired civil engineer. I have completed 295 days of yoga with Habuild’s online course. Habuild has helped me stay consistent with yoga and I avoid missing Yoga Classes as much as possible.

Due to regular yoga practice, my blood sugar level is 6.5% mg/dl; BP is 129/79 hg pressure. My heart rate is 84 BPM; Spo2 for cholesterol is 98%. All of which are normal. My liver function test is normal as well. Due to this, I have been able to reduce half of my pills and prescribed medications. Thanks to Habuild, I have become more flexible and energetic than ever before! Practising yoga asanas daily has helped improve my digestion and lowered my  skin, knee and cervical spine problems. Practising pranayam daily has helped my mind, body and overall health. A big thanks to Sri Saurabh Bothra, who is an amazing yoga trainer. Yoga has truly transformed my life, and I couldn’t have done it without Habuild.”
