New Delhi, October 18 (IANS). As soon as the weather changes, some people first start to experience problems such as sore throat, runny nose, sneezing and body aches. These symptoms are from weak immune system. Those whose immunity is slightly lower than normal, even minor seasonal changes can make them sick. From children to the elderly, people of all ages go through this problem. If the body’s immunity is strengthened from within, the chances of getting sick can be greatly reduced. According to the Ministry of AYUSH, yoga also plays an effective role in increasing immunity. When we do yoga regularly, oxygen and nutrition reach the internal organs of the body better. Yoga not only strengthens the lungs but also improves digestion and blood circulation. All this directly affects our immunity. Adho Mukha Svanasana: Adho Mukha Svanasana is a very effective yoga exercise. When you bring the body into an inverted V shape, blood flow to the head and chest improves. This posture helps clear the nose and lungs and improves the ability to breathe. It removes the mucus accumulated in the throat and chest and provides relief from cold and cough. Ustrasana: In Ustrasana, when you bend your body backwards and hold the ankles, the chest opens completely. This asana helps to expand the lungs and strengthens the respiratory system. The discomfort that occurs when breathing in cold air gradually begins to decrease. This asana also makes the spine flexible and removes fatigue. Matsyasana: In Matsyasana, the body comes in the shape of a fish and the chest area is stretched. This stretch is helpful in expelling the mucus. When you inhale deeply in this asana, the lung capacity gradually increases and you get quick relief from cold and cough. Halasana: The benefits of Halasana are many. When you take your legs behind the head, the nerves and muscles of the body are completely stretched. This asana also activates the digestive system, which directly helps in improving the immune system. In addition, it also reduces fatigue and stress, which often increase with cold. Shirshasana: In Shirshasana, when you stand on your head, the blood flow is from the whole body to the head. As a result, better oxygen reaches the brain, eyes, nose and ears. This asana provides relief from cold, cough and headache as well as activates the entire nervous system. –IANS PK/AS
