Anxiety and depression is a mental state in which a person is totally subdued. Many uneasy physical pains also arise due to this such as breathlessness, restlessness, eating disorders, narcolepsy or even sometimes people are sleep deprived. First let us properly understand anxiety.
What is anxiety?
It is a mental state caused due to long term stress that eventually causes a barrier in the positive energy flow. Many times it causes limitless worry, fear and nervousness. It is very clearly detectable when sleep orders arise. It also increases dangers of diseases like diabetes, hypertension, high blood pressure and heart diseases. The clear symptoms of anxiety and depression are irritability, frustration, anger, increased pulse rate, heartbeats, palpitation, lack of concentration, eating disorder and extreme sleep difficulties.
Many people treat their anxiety problems with heavy medicines that are generally not good for health and their overdose might cause serious health issues even leading to death. Yoga is one such therapy that effectively helps curb anxiety and depression from one's life. Considerable evidence exists regarding yoga dealing with such problems as effectively as natural cures and medicines. Researches have proved that yoga can improve sleep, mental quality of life, lowers heart rate, has serious impact on nervous system and also slows the breathing down to relax your body.
If you do not get much time, you can do Yoga and meditation for even 5 to 10 minutes every day. Even this helps relaxing the body and mind. This will help you to achieve a balanced state in life and focus on your priorities eventually.
