4 Yoga Poses To Support Healthy Digestion And Detox
While eating healthy is a great way to enhance your well-being, taking a holistic view of cleansing your system means being aware of your body at a more subtle level. That’s where the practice of yoga comes in. The alternate stretching and tightening of your muscles in yoga not only helps stimulate your digestive system, but also helps your circulatory system work more efficiently. Yoga asanas help the lymphatic system collect and remove unwanted substances. And the mind-body nature of a yoga practice can help trigger calming responses in the brain.
These 4 asanas will help your digestive system. Try them the next time you feel a little groggy, or sluggish.
