A brain tumor is a lump of abnormal cells in the brain. Tumors can develop in any part of the brain and affect the functions of the nervous system. Common symptoms of brain tumors include headache, epilepsy, loss of memory, nausea, vision, and hearing problems, weakness, and difficulty in speaking.
World Brain Tumor Day is celebrated every year on 8 June to make everyone aware of this serious brain-related disease. Yoga is beneficial for the health of both mind and body. In such a situation, some yogasanas are effective in preventing brain-related diseases. Along with reducing the risk of brain tumors, you can practice three yogasanas regularly to keep the brain healthy.
Vajrasana
Vajrasana can be practiced to control the heart rate. This reduces the stress hormone cortisol and can reduce stress. By practicing Vajrasana, the nerves, and muscles of the thighs and calves become strong. By practicing Vajrasana, the digestive system also remains healthy. The back and the neck of the feet get relief.
Method of practice
For practicing Vajrasana, sit straight with both legs spread on the ground. Now keep both hands on the floor near the hips. Keep in mind that the entire weight should not come on the hands. First, bend the right and then the left leg and take it below the hip. Keep both the thighs and the toes close to each other.
Tadasana
By practicing this asana regularly, the muscles of the body become flexible. Due to deep breathing during the practice of the asana, the lungs expand, which cleans them. By doing this asana, concentration is maintained and the breathing remains balanced.
Method of practice
Stand straight to do Tadasana. Keep in mind that the waist and neck should not bend during the practice. Now stretch the body while breathing slowly while raising both hands. Stay in this position for two to four minutes and then exhale and come back to normal position.
Bhramana Pranayama
For a healthy mind, you can do Bhramana Pranayama regularly. In this asana, breath is taken and exhaled, which is also called breathing technique. By practicing Bhramana Pranayama, one can get rid of negative emotions like anger, irritation, frustration, and anxiety. At the same time, concentration, memory, and self-confidence are boosted.
Method of practice
To do Bhramana Pranayama, keep the body straight while walking and inhale slowly. Exhale while taking a deep breath. Keep in mind that you have to take more time while exhaling than inhaling. Hold the breath inside for every 5 to 7 steps and exhale slowly after taking time. Repeat this process at least 10 times.
