Boost your memory with yoga: Yoga is an easy and natural way to speed up memory because it delivers more oxygen and blood flow to the brain, reduces stress and tension and increases meditation (focus). By doing yoga and pranayama, the hippocampus part of the brain is active, which works to remember and learn. Apart from this, yoga also improves the quality of sleep and good sleep has a direct impact on memory.
Life has become so fast that people have started forgetting even small things. Whether it is student, job -working or house handling, everyone feels the problem of weak memory. In such a situation, yoga and meditation can prove to be a very easy and effective way, which also calms the brain and make memory fast.
Effect of stress on brain and memory
When we are constantly in stress or tension, the burden on the brain increases. This burden weakens the brain cells of the brain and the result is that attention starts to wander and the ability to remember things decreases. Meditation and yoga relax the brain by reducing this stress, which improves memory.
How does meditation work?
Meditation means sitting in peace for a while and focusing on your breath or bringing the mind completely in the present. By doing this-
- The activity of the hippocampus part of the brain increases, which controls memory and learning.
- The nervous system calms down and increases the ability to focus.
- There is distance from negative thoughts, which makes the brain feel light.
Yoga affects the brain
Yoga includes different postures and pranayama of the body. Yogasan like Anulom-Antonym, Kapalabhati, Pranayama delivers more oxygen to the brain, due to which brain cells remain active. Some Yogasan like Vriksasana, Tadasana, Paschimottanasana increase meditation and concentration.
Science also considers beneficial
Many research suggests that people who do regular yoga and meditation are better than those who do not practice it. Even in the elderly, it can reduce the risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Who can do yoga and meditation?
Its best thing is that anyone can do it, children, elders or elderly. In the morning or evening, only 15 to 20 minutes of meditation and 20 to 25 minutes yoga is enough. It is not needed to do any special place, just a quiet and clean place is enough. If you forget things again and again, you do not get attention on studies or do not remember office work, then adopt yoga and meditation before medicines. This will not only speed up your memory but will keep the mind calm and will also make the body healthy.
