Your Heart To Yoga

Coronary Heart/arterial Disease, CAD, simply means suffering of heart muscles due to short supply of oxygen. It occurs when arteries get constricted by plaques (semi solid emulsion of LDP and calcium). With this restricted passage for oxygen rich blood, heart needs to pump more, further straining itself. Before dealing with yoga for heart disease, yoga poses for heart health and yoga for heart health etc, let us examine the causes and symptoms of the disease and how does yoga prevent disease or improve health and how does yoga for heart disease work.

Coronary Artery Disease

Build up of plaque inside coronary arteries hardens them to a condition known as atherosclerosis. Hypertension, smoking, and high cholesterol (LDL) all contribute to this and in turn, CAD. CAD develops over a long time. Since it is a long process, people miss the symptoms till they are around 50 years of age. Chest pain (angina), short breaths characterize CAD. Unfortunately for some people, heart attack could be the first sign of CAD.

Yoga For Mental Health

Frequent visitors to this website know that I write an advice column, "Ask Dr. Dombeck". A typical question I tend to see again and again is, "How can I best manage my (condition)?". Because I strive to be an ethical advice-giver, and because there are severe limitations of information in the online question and answer format, I usually recommend that the writer visit his or her doctor to get an accurate diagnosis of the problem, and then follow the doctor's treatment recommendations. There is simply no substitute for a face-to-face personal relationship with one's own physician, psychologist or psychotherapist. Beyond this necessary 'stock' answer, I often try to provide a further pearl or two of wisdom that the writer might consider. Specifically, I tend to recommend activities known to be generally helpful in promoting mental health and peace of mind including socialization, exercise and relaxation. It occurred to me that it is fully possible to get the benefits of all three of these recommendations by performing only a single activity which is called Yoga. Yoga originated in India several thousand years ago as a system of physical and spiritual practices. It was formalized in the second century BC in the form of the Yoga Sutras, attributed to the scholar Pantanjali.

You could liken it to a form of prayer which serves a similar purpose, only prayer tends to be verbal, while Yoga tends to involve action.

Yoga Provides The Health Benefits Of Physical Exercise

Psychologists have long known that moderate exercise is good for depression and anxiety. Such exercise can easily be found in Yoga practice. Yoga postures are designed to promote physical strength, flexibility and balance. Anyone who has ever taken a Yoga class will attest that there are cardio/heart benefits to be had; your heart rate is frequently up while performing postures much as it would be if you were performing more conventional exercise. Though Yoga gets your heart rate up and your endorphines pumping, it also provides for many rest periods. These rest periods lend a gentle quality to the conditioning that makes it easier to endure than 'marathon' style exercise By emphasizing gentle stretching of the joints and spine, Yoga promotes increased range of motion, and joint health. It helps work out muscular kinks and minor problems that might otherwise lead to back pain or stiffness. In promoting joint and spinal flexibility, Yoga also seems to promote a certain kind of mental freedom; there is a definitive feeling of mental ease and comfort that you experience at the end of a Yoga class that is linked to being free to move muscles that were tight before the class started. It doesn't always last long, but it is very real and very soothing while it lasts.

A Closing Anecdote

One of the things I like best about my own personal Yoga practice is how it has helped teach me patience. When I first started classes in the Spring of 1997, I was unable to touch my toes. This galled me as many people around me were able to do this. I had a wise teacher named Stella at the time, and I recalled her noticing how I was straining to get to the floor. She talked to me about it one night, telling me that Yoga was more about experiencing where you are now than about where you should be. She told me I should relax because the floor would be there when my body was ready to reach it. Sure enough, a few weeks later it was.

How Does Yoga Help In Combating This Disease

A study, published in Journal of The Association of Physicians of India (JAPI), establishes the reversibility of heart disease through yoga. Study was on angiographic ally proven CAD patients, of whom 71 formed the study group and 42 the control group. And the results proved that the serum total cholesterol levels had reduced by 23.3%, disease had regressed in 43.7% and progression was arrested in another 46.5% of the patients. Some marked improvements were noticed in anxiety levels of patients. Controlled yoga combining calming and stimulating measures resulted in reduced serum cholesterol, LDL and triglyceride levels.
