• Opis:
  Introduction: Yoga combines asanas (postures), pranayamas (breathing exercises), and dhyanas (meditation) to improve physical and mental well-being. It's recognized for its substantial health benefits, safety, and cost-effectiveness, leading to calls for its broader integration into healthcare for its therapeutic and preventative potential. This study aims to explore yoga's multifaceted health benefits across physical, mental, and biochemical aspects to support its integration as a holistic health practice. Material and Methods of Research: A literature search was conducted on PubMed and Google Scholar using keywords related to yoga's health benefits to gather insights into its holistic impacts. Results: Yoga benefits musculoskeletal health, enhancing balance, strength, and reducing fracture risks, and improves respiratory function through practices like pranayama. It positively impacts brain health, aiding in cognitive function and potentially slowing neurodegenerative decline. Yoga also offers mental health benefits, reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety, and has antioxidative effects that combat oxidative stress. Additionally, it supports endocrine function, reduces stress, and has anti-inflammatory effects that bolster immune health. Yoga's influence on metabolic health suggests its potential in managing cardiovascular risk factors and diabetes, highlighting its comprehensive health benefits. Conclusion: This study highlights yoga's comprehensive benefits on physical, mental, and biochemical health, demonstrating its efficacy in enhancing musculoskeletal and respiratory function, combating cognitive decline, reducing mental health issues, and offering antioxidative and anti-inflammatory benefits, underscoring its value in modern holistic healthcare.
