Prostate enlargement is assumed to be caused by the normal aging process, which would account for the vast number of cases recorded globally, especially in men over 80. Although the exact etiology of benign prostatic hyperplasia is unknown, research indicate that it results from both aging and the hormonal changes that take place at this stage of life.
There is no disputing the findings of the numerous scientific research on the benefits of yoga because this age-old practice focuses on improving our health while boosting every aspect of our lives. Your physical and emotional health may benefit from consistent yoga practice.
The following four yoga poses will help your pancreas operate better:
1. Virasana (Hero Pose)
Method: Sit between your feet with your knees bent and your toes pointing backward. You might sit on a pillow for further support. Place your hands on your thighs with the palms down while maintaining a long spine. Keep the weight in your hips rather than letting your knees support it. You can carry out your Kegel exercises while maintaining the stance. To get out of the stance, roll to one side and relax your legs.
2. Baddha Konasana (Cobbler’s Pose)
Method: As you sit down, extend your legs in front of you. You can sit on the edge of a cushion for greater hip support. Kneel to the side and bring the soles of your feet together. Pulling your heels closer to your torso will increase the strain; moving them farther apart will decrease it. At the pinky toe, you can interlace your fingers and tuck them under the sides of your foot. After a while, walk your hands forward and make a forward fold while circling your spine. Take deep breaths and concentrate on relaxing and letting go of tension. To release the posture, walk your hands back up and spread your legs in front of you.
3. Janu Shirshana (Head to Foot Pose)
Method: Sit on the ground and extend both of your legs in front of you. As you bend your right knee, your right foot’s sole comes into contact with the left inner thigh. Put a pillow under your right knee or your sit bones for support. Tilt your torso to the left such that your naval is in line with the inside of your left leg. Either place your hands on the floor next to you or slowly extend your hands out in front of you. Put your chin in your chest and hinge at the hips to lower yourself to the ground. It’s acceptable to circle your spine and bend the extended leg. Exhale slowly while raising your torso and moving your hands back. On the other side, repeat.
4. Dhanurasana (Bow Pose)
When you lay on your stomach, your arms should be with the palms facing up. As you slowly bend your knees to raise your feet, reach back with your hands to hold the outside of your ankles. Lift your shoulders, chest, and head off the mat if you can. Make an effort to keep your knees from bending in the side. Look forward or upward while taking several long, deep breaths. After holding for up to 30 seconds, release. This action may be repeated twice.
