Yoga for Treating Coronary Heart Disease

Relax pals, I think I have some good very good news for all.

All this stuff about Coronary Artery Disease CAD they call it! is just bullcrap, baloney, lemme tell you that! True, its the most common form of heart disease. But this is caused by the buildup of cholesterol in the inside layers of the arteries. As a result of the blockage, the blood flow will slow down and the muscles will not get enough supply of blood. The plaque also weakens the arterial wall which may lead to a crack and the formation of blood clot. The blood clot and block in the arteries often lead to heart attack, blah, blah, blah, blah.

However, theres the flip side to coping and preventing as well as curing the condition. Yoga, I myself have found, from practise and experience, improves the body's strength and flexibility which may help control blood pressure, respiration, and heart and metabolic rates. The change of one's lifestyle to a Yoga Lifestyle which includes a vegetarian diet and no tobacco also makes the progression of the condition slower or make severe patients recover faster.

Yoga also helps you cope with stress and Anxiety which are also common causes of Coronary Artery Disease. Further and believe me, this I'm telling you from experience Yoga practice gives you a deeper knowledge of yourself which often lead to a healthy lifestyle and the elimination of the modifiable risk factors for CAD.

Here is the Basic Yoga Routine I followed you may follow too to help you cope with Heart Ailments. However, remember that you cannot treat the any other heart disease just with Yoga.
