YOGA SEQUENCE TO BUILD A STRONG IMMUNE SYSTEM

Have you ever suffered from a frequent cough, cold, or tonsillitis? Ever wondered why you are the one who always ends up getting infections in autumn or winter and not your friend? The reason is often attributed to immunity; what is this immunity exactly, in simple terms? The fighting capacity of humans towards infections contributed to the various cell formations in the body, commonly known as white blood cells, which are produced in various body parts. These cells become activated whenever you are exposed to the infection around you so that you can fight against this nasty cold, cough, or more significant infections.

Yoga and immunity

Immunity mainly depends on how a person leads their life, and other factors, such as their genes (which you get from your parents), play a role. Exposure to various antibiotics nowadays, with a changing lifestyle, is responsible for increasing cases of infection. Try these Yoga Poses to Boost Your Immune System:

1. Bhujangasana (cobra pose): stretches your front body and chest. Place your palms on the sides of your chest, take a synchronous deep breath with your head on the ground, and gradually push upwards. Do not forget to push as much as your body allows. It stimulates T cell formation in the neck by increasing blood flow.
2. Skull-shining breathing technique (Kapal Bhati pranayama): This deep breathing technique helps with lymphocytic imbalance by rejuvenating cells. It improves the blood supply to the brain and other organs, relieving stress. This slow breathing technique can be done anywhere and is easy to practice.
3. Sethu bandana (bow pose): This is done by lying on the back and stretching the abdomen, back, and neck upward. It increases the flexibility of the core muscles of the back and opens up the blood flow in the various body parts, increasing the body’s infection-fighting capacity. This Yoga for the Immune System is helpful.
4. Dhanurasana (bow pose): Lie on your abdomen with extended legs. Your fingers should point downwards towards the legs, and your legs should be drawn out. Start bending the knee by holding a hand and stretching the body upward. Lay your abdomen on the ground and press for stability. Try bringing the knee and heels as close as possible. This releases energy in the body and puts pressure on the digestive system to produce digestive juices.

Along with Yoga, other lifestyle changes are required to increase immunity, like keeping yourself hydrated, eating healthy food, and staying active. Don’t forget to include Yoga daily to strengthen your immune system. The immune system is a primary necessity of your life. If it is strong, it is the first step you must take to ensure your health is at its best. It will slowly come up strong, and you will be happy with the results.
