Yoga Poses To Boost Digestion:

      Yoga has been known to provide numerous benefits to the mind and body, and one of them is improving digestion. Poor digestion can lead to various health issues, including acid reflux, bloating, constipation, and gas. Practicing certain yoga poses helps stimulate the digestive system, leading to better digestion and absorption of nutrients from food.

One such pose is Simhasana, also known as Lion Pose. This asana activates the food pipe, glands, and stomach, which helps in curing digestive-related ailments. It also controls the excess flow of acid and bile, reducing bad breath and other digestive problems. Another asana is Jathara Parivartanasana, or the Revolved Abdomen Pose. This asana stimulates the lower part of the digestive system, including the liver, pancreas, and intestines, making digestion and elimination easier and curing related ailments.

Practicing these yoga poses regularly, along with a healthy diet, can lead to improved digestion and better overall health. They can also help reduce stress and anxiety, which can contribute to digestive issues. However, it is essential to practice yoga under the guidance of a trained yoga teacher, especially if you are a beginner or have any pre-existing medical conditions.

Now we are going to do Simhasana, which stimulates the digestive system by activating the food pipe, glands, and stomach and helps in curing digestive related ailments.

Method:

First, sit in Padmasana and straighten your back and neck. Close your eyes and take 5 or 7 deep breaths, calming your mind. While still sitting in Padmasana, lie down on your back using both hands to lift the upper body as in Bhujangasana. Extend your tongue outside the mouth and gaze upwards, focusing on the middle of your forehead. Stay in this position for 30 seconds and breathe normally. Then return to the Padmasana position. Now change your legs and repeat the same pose for the same duration.
