  ‘Paraná’ in Sanskrit language means ‘life force’ or ‘vital energy’ and ‘yam a’ implies work or exercise. So ‘Pranayam’ literally means exercises involving internal energy of the body. Yoga treats the whole body, mind and soul residing in the body as a single entity and thus constitutes a holistic method of treatment.

     

In yoga there is a special emphasis on balancing out the thyroid hormone level since it is believed to be critical in causing weight gain. One should press the acupressure or reflexology points for curing the thyroid gland malfunction in between or after the Yoga breathing exercises for 2-3 minutes with moderate pressure on the point/region.

   

These exercises should be performed as a whole package and they deliver benefits right away, for total and permanent cure of most commonly observed long term diseases and their symptoms.  Now if you want to know about safe weight loss methods then please clickhere.
