Healthy Heart of Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda

Heart disease is one of the most common and dreaded diseases of modern civilisation. Therefore, it is important to think about what can support a healthy function of the heart and what makes the heart sick. Like any other muscle in our body, the heart muscle needs regular exercise on the one hand to maintain its strength, and sufficient relaxation on the other hand to avoid becoming overloaded.

The "Exercise System of Yoga in Daily Life" offers an effective programme to stimulate cardiovascular activity. The physical exercises promote blood circulation, deepen breathing, harmonise muscle tension and stimulate the circulation. Usually the heart is only consciously noticed when it is no longer functioning properly.

An exercise programme that includes relaxation, breathing and physical exercises is therefore particularly well suited to keeping the heart healthy.
