YOGA FOR OUR CIRCULATION SYSTEM
YOGA BENEFITS FOR OUR CIRCULATION SYSTEM
Before I explain the benefits of yoga, let me explain the importance of our circulation system. Like other body parts circulatory system is also a vital part of the body. It is also known as the cardiovascular system consisting of our heart and blood vessels.
The heart’s function is to supply blood to various parts of the body. Through our blood, nutrients, and oxygen travel through our vessels. Our heart comprises four compartments that have different functions.
The compartment on the upper right is what helps to collect our flowing blood from all over the body before proceeding to the lower right compartment. Whereas the lower compartment is responsible for circulating the blood into the lungs to purify it. The purified blood is then sent back to the heart. This time within the upper left ventricle from where it is transferred into the lower-left compartment before emerging as clean and new blood to the rest of our body.
The blood operates mainly through the main arteries which are thick tube-like structures coming from our heart right in our chest. The arteries spread into many sub arteries that in turn will split into thin-walled capillaries. Those capillaries intertwine with our organs directly. Because of their thin walls, they distribute oxygen and nutrition to our organs and tissues which require them the most.
More Oxygen
The old resources are removed from the tissue and back into the capillaries to be worked upon within specialized veins to transfer the impure blood back into the heart to restart the whole process. This is a tough job as the pressure has reduced this far from the heart so the veins are helped by valves to regulate the flow. Another vital piece of information to take note of is the way the circulatory system is set up is that it comprises two main parts: the blood and the lymphatic system. It is the job of the lymphatic system to remove waste from the blood system.
The two different systems run almost next to each other but while the blood system has a pump in the heart, the lymphatic system does not possess a single organ designed to function. This job is handled by our muscles, which operate our lymphatic system by contracting and expanding. That is of course where Yoga comes in.
Our bodies move about every day with various poses and expressions that help in clearing blockages within our circulatory system and making sure that everything is flowing at regular intervals from time to time. It also helps in strengthening our muscles effectively over time with some effort on our part.

This is also what helps to pump the lymphatic system and enable our bodies to function the way our minds want. Because of that, people practicing Yoga regularly can expect to achieve a greatly enhanced immune response system and will not be easily affected by diseases, infections, and other illnesses. Moreover, those benefits begin before that. Yoga sessions normally commence with a series of standing exercises touching on long slow breathing exercises.
Better Breathing
Those breathing exercises are typical of all kinds of yoga and compel us to focus on our breath. They also act as an enlightening path through our bodies each time we take a fresh breath. The exercises are created specifically in a way that people do not feel restricted as to where and when they can practice these breathing exercises and in a way that the slow deep breathing pattern can seem normal. Since our breathing is longer and deeper, our oxygen level intake rises.
Coupled with the enticing effects those exercises have on our blood circulation, oxygen is easily distributed to our body muscles. If those muscles, along with our other organs and tissues are not obtaining the necessary oxygen and nutrients, we will become vulnerable to all diseases and sicknesses.
Yoga is certainly a great help to the complex and interlinking circulation system. For it understands the basis and importance of the system and restores balance to our bodies.
