Pranaayam

These days the air is not polluted but it is toxic coz of the virus. The air we inhale should be pure. We should do Pranaayam in the mornings. Morning timings are preferable so as to take in fresh air, take in enough of oxygen, to purify the lungs and hence the body, mind and soul.

Pranaayam is controlled breathing. It increases the capacity of the lungs to take in pure fresh air, purify the blood, give out carbon-di-oxide and also boosts the immunity.

Pranaayam has many benefits.
It is the central theme of Yoga.
It is the link between the mind and body.
The air or oxygen we breathe in is not what it is, but the great vital force of energy called PRAN.
The body cells depend on oxygen present in the blood. And the air taken in by the lungs has oxygen.
It is an essential tool for relaxation of body and mind.
It helps to keep away fatigue.
It is an effective technique for stress management.
Deep and slow breathing is a powerful driving force for circulatory system.
Pranaayam also helps in diseases like bronchitis and asthma.
The Digestive and the Nervous system work smoothly.

There are innumerable unseen benefits also.This is why one should practice Pranaayam daily.
If it is included in our daily routine, it becomes a habit and then an addiction.Only then can we achieve its right benefits.

I shall discuss the types of Pranaayam in my next blog.
