In todays post let us understand What is the Importance of Yoga in Improving our Circulatory System ?
To begin with let’s first understand the function of this system. Everyone is aware of the importance of the circulatory system and role played by it in our life. It is also known as the cardio vascular system and it comprises of the heart and the blood vessels.
Heart pumps the blood which is carried to the different parts of our body by the blood vessels. The circulatory system comprises of two parts the blood system and the lymphatic system.
The lymphatic system ensures that all the waste from the circulatory system is removed.
The blood system is helped by the heart which pumps the blood but the lymphatic system doesn’t have any organ which will help in flushing out the waste, the entire onus lies on the muscles which fulfils its task by the contraction and expansion
The right auricle collects the de-oxygenated blood and pumps it to the right ventricle which sent it to the lungs so that it becomes mixed with oxygen and gets oxygenated; from there it is brought back to the left auricle and pumped into the left ventricle and from there the arteries carry it to different parts of the body.
These arteries are thick walled and the main artery is referred to as aorta. The arteries branch into sub arteries which divide into thin walled capillaries.
The capillaries are the one which supply the oxy gen and nutrients to all the organs and in turn collect all the toxic waste from these organs and they are carried back to the heart through veins and the entire process is repeated.
When the blood is carried by the veins there is a fear of blood flowing back because of less pressure, hence the veins are provided with valves. Yoga is an ancient form of exercise which ensures our overall well being. Itb looks into our mental as well as our physical development.
