It is very helpful for harmony of mind and the body. Yoga is the way of becoming physically and mentally wellbeing. It contemporizes the function of the muscle and the mind. It is a path that can lead us towards health (Batch, 1987). Yoga is not a very old story buried in nothingness. It is the most valuable and important need of today and the culture of tomorrow (Satyananda, 1969). It is a mode of existence (life). It is a perfect procedure to educate our body, mind and inner spirit. This is an art of best living which was practised in India thousands of years ago but as yoga deals with full harmony of life; its instructions are applicable today as they were in the primordial period. Some people think yoga belongs to one religion but its benefits were experienced by the Buddhists, Jews, Muslims, Christians, Hindus and the Atheists also. Yoga is in unification together with each and every one (Kindersley, 1996). 'Our ancestors developed yoga towards combination of the body, intellect and spirit, the same time as harmonious complete' (Satyananda, 1969). Yoga is a science and method of precise living. It is working on each and every aspect of human beings life: the bodily, very important intellectual and emotional (Satyananda, 1969).

This book is a review of recent literature on yoga research. First, the review covers the physiological effects of yoga on heartrate and blood pressure followed by the physical effects on balance and flexibility, muscle strength, weight loss and sexual function. Psychological problems that are affected by yoga are then summarized including anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder and depression, as well as physical conditions including pain syndromes, cardiovascular, autoimmune and immune conditions. Finally, separate sections are devoted to yoga effects on pregnancy, children and adolescents and the aging. Potential underlying mechanisms are proposed including the stimulation of pressure receptors leading to enhanced vagal activity and reduced cortisol. The reduction in that stress hormone may, in turn, contribute to several positive effects including enhanced immune function and lower prematurity rates.

Devi Vara Prasad and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthy men and women altogether constitutes wealthy mankind. The body of a woman is definitely very different from the body of a man as it has more duties to perform and greater weight to sustain. In fact, nature has given the woman's body a greater purpose to fulfill. A woman has to become a mother, and for that reason, nature has designed a special system for her. Men have more chances of going out, playing sports and games, and taking a morning or evening walk. Most women are completely tied to their household duties and remain in the same environment all the time. They do not get as much time or as many opportunities for exercise as men do. Moreover, the system of a man is less complicated than the system of a woman. Good health means that all organs of the body are working efficiently. The important proverb is, 'Health is wealth', 'if health is lost everything is lost', and is realized more in its absence than by its presence. Middle age is not a time of life it is a state of mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION A healthy life is the most important for a happy life. The modern pace of life hardly gives time to take care of health. But ancient Indian wisdom says that the true fulfillment of life begins with good health. Good health is the key to a happy life for both men and women but in a fast and demanding life of men, health unfortunately takes a backseat whereas it should be of prime concern. In these competitive times, health is put on the back-burner until it becomes too serious to ignore. For a healthy life, numerous things have to be set in order. Watching the calories, good exercises and healthy food is absolutely essential. (Dr. Maoshing Ni, 2008) Health is defined by the World Health Organization of the United Nations as the "State of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity." The essential requisites (or dimensions) of "health" would include the following: - Achievement of optimal growth and development, reflecting the full expression of one's genetic potential. - Maintenance of the structural integrity and functional efficiency of body tissues necessary for an active and productive life. - Mental well-being,
