A yogi’s age is measured through his or her spine. The more flexible it is the more healthy, active and younger you are. Yoga puts a leash on aging and helps you stay younger with a radiant skin. According to a new study, intensive daily yoga practice is linked to an increase in two key substances linked to youth and longevity: Growth hormone (GH) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS). As we age, the amount of GH and DHEAS in our bodies decreases markedly. GH, or somatotropin, is a peptide hormone known to stimulate cell growth and reproduction. In other words, it is related to the generation of new tissues like skin and muscle. DHEAS is an androgen (hormone) produced in the adrenal gland. It is linked to immune function and heart health among other factors. Yoga not only leads to increase in growth hormone and DHEAS in both men and women but also a significant decline in body mass index (BMI), is a measure of body fat based on both height and weight. Yoga supports the integration of mind, body and soul. By combining kriya, asana, pranayama and meditation, the program makes the most of the variety of practices in the yoga tradition known to cultivate mind and body health.
