 From vector.me Yoga Benefit #17 in Yoga as Medicine - Yoga Strengthens Bones!
Woman who have osteoporosis or osteopenia are usually advised by healthcare providers to participate in weight bearing activities as long as they are physically able. Standing yoga poses, such as warrior II, require weight bearing in our legs. Most other forms of exercise do not put weight on the wrist, a frequent location of osteoporotic fractures. Poses such ass Downward Facing Dog and arm balances do put weight on wrists. Excess amounts of the stress hormone cortisol decreases bone formation and increases its breakdown. According to Yoga as Medicine yoga has the ability to lower levels of cortisol and therefore may help keep calcium in our bones. So it seems that yoga is just what the doctor ordered!!

Hello everyone, I am from Wembley, Britain. I want to write this testimony to tell others and thank Dr. Odunga for what he has done for me. The first 12 years of my marriage I had 5 miscarriages and I was called all sorts of names by my mother-in-law and this my marriage life was very hectic and a burden of sorrow. I contacted Dr. Odunga for help and I will say that he is a very strong and honest man and he indeed helped me solve my problem. I saw his email in a testimony and I contacted him, little did I know it would be the end of all my problems. After 2 days of contact, I received a fertility herb and he told me to use it. The herb worked and my husband even loved me more and bought me expensive things. One afternoon, I went to a nearby hospital and came back home with the positive result of my pregnancy and after 9 months I gave birth to a baby boy. Ever since I contacted Dr. Odunga, my story has been different. I have 3 children at present and I am very happy in my marriage. Leave a Reply. |
