Lifestyle News Desk, In today’s busy life, stress has become a part of most people’s lives even if they don’t want it. Increasing stress not only makes a person mentally but also physically ill. To get relief from stress, many people use anti-depression tablets. Consuming them for a long time can sometimes cause health problems to the person. In such a situation, yoga can be very beneficial to get rid of stress, anxiety and depression. Recently, a study conducted jointly by the Anatomy Department and Psychiatric Department of AIIMS Delhi has revealed that anti-depression medicines can provide only 20 to 30 percent relief from the problem, whereas regular Surya Namaskar and some other yogasanas can reduce depression by 60 to 70 percent.
