Yoga -+Gerald+Aditya


 * 1) Knowledge Claim: Yoga can normalize endocrine functions**

Evidence: Endocrine's primary function is to secrete hormones to regulate metabolism and growth. The endocrine system mediates the intimate relationship of body and mind - emotions such as fear or rage, love or grief, both reflect hormonal activity and influence it strongly. Yoga makes the body more relaxed and yoga practitioners feel happier and more peaceful.


 * 2) Knowledge Claim: Yoga can deal with Anxiety issues**

Evidence: The process of anxiety recuperation can also be aided by Yoga practice. It will help develop a stronger state of mind, thus overcoming your fears and preventing the dangers of anxiety. For example, practicing Asanas to maintain a healthy nervous system. Pranayama to gain better self-awareness and acquire a more peaceful state of mind, and meditation for a stronger concentration and focus of the mind that can eventually lead you away from your fears.


 * 3) Knowledge Claim: Yoga can improve Skeletal System**

Evidence: Yoga helps in the realignment of various mechanical disorders like slipped disc, hiatus hernia, umbilical hernia, arthritis, cervical spondylitis, and many others. For a slipped disc, the bony column and muscles are pulled apart so that the disc is not pressurized.


 * 4) Claim: Some styles of yoga, such as ashtanga and power yoga styles can improve muscle tone.**

Evidence:

Focusing on the form of poses in yoga increase strength and muscle tone, due to the challenging nature of maintaining the body in the proper position.

People can build and tone their muscles through rigorous types of yoga such as Ashtanga and Bikram. The heat and humidity help them burn calories as well. Official Bikram yoga classes are always 90 minutes long, and a 150-pound student can burn up to 715 calories in that time, according to HealthStatus. Since one pound equals 3,500 calories, you can potentially burn off a pound of fat per week by practicing five times weekly, helping to reveal your increasingly toned musculature.


 * 5) Claim: Yoga can benefit people with heart problems.**

Evidence:

Yoga has proven benefits for those who have faced cardiac arrest, heart attack or other heart event, according to Cunningham, a person who has taught yoga for 40 years and is also president of Positive Health Solutions.. “The acute emotional stress of such an event certainly has a significant and adverse effect on the heart,” she said. “That’s where yoga can be a tremendous benefit to manage the stress.” For example, Cunningham said that half of bypass surgery patients go through depression, facing emotions ranging from anxiety to grieving. “All these things come into play when you’ve got a potentially chronic disease to manage for the rest of your life.”

Yoga has long been known to lower blood pressure and slow the heart rate. A slower heart rate can benefit people with high blood pressure or heart disease, and people who've had a stroke.
