3 yoga asanas to maintain kidneys health

Since the kidneys are in charge of many bodily functions, such as controlling fluid levels, filtering wastes and toxins from the blood, regulating blood pressure, activating vitamin D for healthy bones, and producing the hormone that stimulates red blood cell production, it is crucial to take care of them. When the kidneys do not operate properly, wastes and extra water accumulate in the body, which can result in chronic kidney disease (CKD), which can lead to health issues like heart disease.

The next 3 yoga poses will promote kidney function, help with detoxification, and help maintain healthy kidneys –

1. Paschimottanasana, a forward bend while seated:

Begin in Dandasana with your legs out in front of you and your ankles firmly planted. Keep your legs straight while making a little knee bend. Keep your spine upright while extending your arms upward. Empty your stomach of air when you exhale. Your upper body will be placed on your lower body when you bend forward at the hips. While keeping your back straight, attempt to bring your stomach closer to your thighs. Drop your arms and place your fingertips on your big toes. Place your stomach on your thighs and try to contact your knees with your nose. Hold the position for some time.

2. Bow Pose, or Dhanurasana:

Lay on your stomach to start. Your knees should be bent, and your hands should be tightly clasped around your ankles. As high as you are able to, lift your arms and legs. Hold the position while looking up for a time.

3. Wheel Pose, or Chakrasana:

Lean back and lie down. Make sure your feet are firmly planted on the ground and bend your legs at the knees. With your hands up toward the sky, bend your arms at the elbows. Put your palms on the floor on either side of your head and rotate your arms at the shoulders. Take a deep breath in, apply pressure to your legs and palms, and lift your entire body into an arch. Allow your head to softly droop behind you as you look back and relax your neck. Put equal amounts of weight on each of your four limbs. Hold the position for some time.
