New Delhi, 29 June (IANS). In today’s era, the faster our life is becoming increasingly, the faster the health of our body is deteriorating. Habitations like running from morning to night, fried food, waking up late night are harming the most important parts of our body, especially the liver. Liver ie liver, is the part of our body that not only helps in digesting food, but also cleanses the blood, removes toxic elements from the body and also handles immunity. But when it does not work properly, the effect is on the whole body. Fatigue, indigestion, dizziness, lack of sleep and even major diseases are increased.
In such a situation, if there is a method that keeps the liver clean without medicine and increases its strength, then it is ‘yoga’.
Yoga is not a new way, but a thousand years old is an Indian method that balances the body, mind and soul. It also detoxes the liver and increases its functionality.
The Ministry of AYUSH, while talking about some special yogasan for liver such as Bhujangasana, Dhanurasana, Naukasana, Ardh Matsyendrasana and Pawanmuktasana etc., has described them as a boon for liver health. These asanas affect the muscles around the liver, which improves blood flow and starts repairing cells.
Bhujangasana: Bhujangasana is an easy but very beneficial yogasana, especially for problems related to liver and digestion. In this asana, we lie on the stomach and lift the head and chest up, which makes the upper part of the body look like a snake. This leads to massage of the internal organs of the stomach, such as liver and pancreas, which improves their work. It helps in improving digestion and increases blood flow to the liver. By doing 15-30 seconds daily, the body also gets freshness and energy.
Dhanurasana: Dhanurasana is an effective yogasana which is considered very beneficial for liver and digestion. While doing this, the shape of the body becomes like a bow, so it is called Dhanurasana. In this, we lay down on the stomach and bends the knees and hold the ankles with hands. Then breathe and lift the chest and legs up. This causes the liver muscle stretch and improves the digestive system. It activates liver cells. Doing 20-30 seconds daily shows the best effect.
Naukasana: Naukasana is a simple but effective yogasana. This strengthens the abdominal muscles and becomes active organs like liver, kidney. It also helps in improving digestion. While doing this, the body shape becomes like a boat, hence its name is Naukasana. Lay on the back to do this asana. Raise the head, arms and legs up together. When the body comes in the shape of the boat, keep yourself in this situation for 20–30 seconds and keep breathing normal. Stopping in this posture 20-30 seconds daily, the energy in the body increases and the fat of the stomach also gradually starts to decrease.
Ardh Matsyendrasana: Ardh Matsyendrasana is a beneficial yogasan for liver and digestive system. In this posture, the waist is bended, which puts light pressure on the internal organs of the stomach. It cleans the liver and intestines and increases their functionality. To practice this asana, sit in Dandasana and keep the spine straight. Then fold the left legs and put beyond the right knee and move the right leg to the left buttock. Now hold the paw of the left foot with the right hand and bend the torso to the left. Fold the neck too so that the eyes are towards the left shoulder. Rept the left hand back and take a normal breath. Stay in this situation for 30-60 seconds.
Pawanmuktasana: Pawanmuktasana is a very easy and beneficial yogasana, this improves the health of the liver. Also, the problem related to gas, acidity or digestion is relieved. To do this asana, first lie down on the back, bend both the knees. Bring the knees towards the chest and hold with hands. Raise the head up and mix with the knees. Stay in this position for 20 seconds.
