How Yoga Helps Prevent Lifestyle Diseases
Yoga helps prevention because it works on posture, breathing, circulation and stress control. This makes the answer broader than a list of asana names.
- Asanas: improve flexibility, posture, digestion and muscular tone.
- Pranayama: supports breathing control and mental calmness.
- Relaxation: reduces stress load, fatigue and poor sleep.
Important: yoga supports prevention and management, but it does not replace medical treatment.
