Importance of yoga and Exercise in daily life
Yoga is an ancient science of body postures and mental concentration whose chief purpose is optimal self-realization and self-actualization. However, yoga is the most miscomprehended and misunderstood concept, not only in India, but throughout the world. The word ‘Yoga’ conjures up the images of ascetics, or yoga gurus doing some arduous physical postures or asnas! Only bending, stretching, moving, etc. of various body parts in association of certain breathing exercises is not the totality of Yoga. The word ‘Yoga’ in the entirety of its meaning, includes regulating and channeling mental forces towards the direction of merging the petty self with the infinite Universe and becoming one with IT.
The literal meaning of Yoga according to the Vedas is ‘union’. The reward of this union with the Universe is the unfolding and blossoming of our potential to its fullest and optimal level. In the famous documentary on mediation ‘Spiritual Reality: Journey Within’, many benefits of yoga have been enumerated upon. The documentary reveals how yoga replenishes and rejuvenates a yogi physically, mentally, and spiritually. In the state of perfect yoga one receives abundant cosmic energy, which heals, energizes, rejuvenates each and every cell, nerve, and organ of the physical, mental and spiritual body of a man. It cleanses the body of all the ills and toxins that might develop into some fatal ailments. It destresses the mental burdens. In nut shell we can say yoga is panacea to all ailments of body, mind, and soul.
Similarly, exercise is also very important for one’s health and prosperity. Exercise helps in preventing excess weight gain or maintaining weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. Exercise keeps your blood flowing smoothly, which decreases your risk of cardiovascular diseases. In fact, regular physical activity can help you prevent or manage a wide range of health problems and concerns, including stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, depression, and certain types of cancer, arthritis and falls.
Exercise is not beneficial for body, but mind and emotions also. Exercising regularly for 30-45 minutes daily has great effects on the health of your brain. It also helps to improve mood. Exercises also helps in the creation of new neurons, due to this it keeps mental disorders like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's at bay. Regular exercise helps to increase the level of brain chemicals, which are responsible to make new brain cells and establishes connections between brain cells to help us learn and grasp new things. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed.
In conclusion it can be said that each and every individual in this world must include both yoga and exercise in his/her regime to live a healthy, prosperous, and great life.
