Beat Your Biological Clock with Yoga

As we age the body changes naturally, it becomes less flexible and loses strength. Being exposed to various toxins found in food and the environment further accelerates the aging process. However, as Elly Kleinman Americare Companies Founder and CEO says, the good news is that you can turn the tables and restore the biological clock, by performing yoga exercises that will restore your vitality, strength and a fresh look.

Scientific studies have shown that practicing yoga, even in later years, can considerably slow down the process of aging and make you feel better than before. Although it is recommended at any age, yoga cannot be the same in every age. Thus, people under the age of 40 should enjoy the dynamic variations, while the elderly should stick to the less physically intense yoga, which is more oriented towards breathing techniques and meditation.

Furthermore, Elly Kleinman adds that many have started practicing yoga to beat stress levels and relax both body and mind. Yoga has numerous benefits. It gives the body more energy and enthusiasm, and it helps in looking younger and retaining a fresh complexion. The secret to restoring the biological clock lies in practicing those exercises that warm the body, lengthen and reinforce the spine and the muscles, stimulate circulation and even increase energy levels. In addition, yoga exercises help with balancing the endocrine and nervous system, which eventually results in slowing down the aging process.

Yoga exercises are aimed to directly increase your vitality. Exercising yoga will not only make your skin look younger, but it can also reverse the aging process in people who start exercising later in life. According to Americare Companies CEO, yoga helps with strengthening the bones, better sleep, healthy and radiant looking skin, better mood and muscle mass benefits.

For middle-aged and older people it can be intimidating to start practicing yoga, especially if you are not in shape or have some health problems. For beginners, yoga practice can be a great way to stay active and reduce stress levels. Gently stretching with yoga positions in people over 50 can help them develop greater flexibility, which can provide a greater range of motion as they age. So, as Kleinman states, regardless whether you are looking for a way to prevent osteoporosis, want to relieve pain from some injury or broken bones, or only a gentle twist of the ankle, stretching with yoga can be extremely beneficial.

By practicing yoga, Americare's executive Kleinman says that you can contribute to the prevention of dementia. Elderly people who practice yoga and meditate have better memory, better remember locations and manage the traffic. For that purpose, he pointed out to a recent study conducted on subjects older than 55 years who showed that such problems precede Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Taking the time to practice yoga in silence can be helpful in getting rid of stress, anxiety, alignment, strengthening memory and concentration, as well as giving you higher levels of energy.
