Some benefits of performing yoga for seniors
| Posted on 26 February, 2013 at 8:49 |
The Benefits of Yoga in the elderly population Our senior population is growing rapidly, as is their interest in leading active, fit lives. On the whole, we live longer than we used to, and we all want high-quality living and good health to be a part of our older years. As we grow older, however, we typically become more susceptible to ailments that are linked to aging, and, as a result, we tend to move less. The less we move, the more susceptible we become to a variety of ailments, and so it becomes a truly vicious cycle. Yoga has been shown to help alleviate or reduce many of these health challenges, making it an increasingly popular exercise choice for our older adult population. Senior Yoga classes are popping up everywhere – health clubs, senior centers, assisted living residences, and even church basements. The many benefits of Yoga have long been said to slow – or even slowly reverse – the aging process. SOME BENEFITS: Chronic Pain: Yoga practice has been shown to aid those suffering with chronic pain. A study by the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center (Gaur, 2001) found that patients experiencing chronic pain either improved or maintained their symptoms after only four weeks of practicing Yoga. No patients experienced deterioration, and every patient significantly reduced the amount of needed pain medication. Diabetes: A study at the University College of Medical Sciences in New Delhi evaluated 30-to-60 year old patients with Type II diabetes (Jain, Uppal, Bhatnagar, Talukdar, 1993). A 40-minute-per-day regimen of Yoga was followed for a period of 40 days. The results showed a significant decrease in fasting blood sugar levels. Furthermore, these patients showed an average improvement in lung capacity of approximately 10 percent. This suggests that, over time, Type II diabetics can achieve better blood sugar control and pulmonary functions when they follow a daily Yoga regimen. Improved Flexibity and Range of Motion: As you age and become less active, you may notice you are not as flexible as you were at a younger age. Yoga enhances flexibility and joint range of motion through physical poses that stretch muscles and lubricate joints. Those suffering from arthritis and other stiff-joint conditions can also benefit from yoga. Poses that involve smooth movements may be more beneficial than static poses. A few days of yoga classes, or of at-home yoga exercises, might be all you need to start feeling more limber and mobile. Yoga is a great activity for many reasons. Improving your health and flexibility may help reduce fall risks and injuries. We developed the Three Hole EZ Glide Walker Ball to not only save you money by using it 3 times, but to also help decrease fall risks and injuries by providing a smooth surface for the walker to glide over. This not only promotes proper assistive device use, but it provides a safer step pattern which improves a persons balance. |

Before reading this post we were not having such idea about the benefits of doing yoga in routine. It is something that is supposed to be the part of life’s routine so that we are able to live healthy life.

Yoga has a lot of benefits to both the mind and the body. Through the practice of yoga, one can become one with his inner spirit. The idea is to harness our chi and to use it to sustain our life force. I know that this is only a concept, however, there is no harm in trying. Believing in stuff that has no scientific evidence is not really a bad thing. Sometimes there are just phenomena that cannot be explained by science.

Practicing yoga is really a great thing in living a healthier lifestyle. As we grow older, we tend to have a disease, body pain, or other illness. Our focus might easily disappear also. So in putting yoga in your daily routine, is one of a great activity for you. It can give you strength, flexibility, and mind body awareness. I will recommend to all ages out there, we should try to practice yoga. Thank you for posting a blog like this.

I could not even imagine my life without sport. That's why I was very upset when I heard that my mom doesn't do any physical activities. Luckily I found your blog. I am sure that your articles will change her mind. Thanks!
