With multiple cities in India experiencing heatwave alerts, the summer season is becoming increasingly challenging. Heatwaves can severely impact health, causing dizziness, heavy sweating, cardiovascular issues, asthma attacks, and the spread of various infectious diseases. One of the most severe effects is heatstroke, which occurs with prolonged exposure to extreme heat.
Protecting yourself from heatstroke is essential, as it can lead to severe health problems, including dehydration, organ damage, paralysis, and even death. Heatstroke happens when your body cannot cool itself down, causing a dangerous rise in body temperature due to extended sun exposure, high temperatures, or dehydration.
Here are some yoga asanas that can help:
- Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose): This pose improves blood circulation and calms the nervous system, enhancing cardiovascular health.
- Shavasana (Corpse Pose): Known for its relaxing benefits, Shavasana can help reduce body temperature and uses gravity to return blood to the heart.
- Viparita Karani (Legs Up the Wall Pose): This pose calms the nervous system, reduces stress, and effectively cools the body.
- Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclining Bound Angle Pose): A variation of the Butterfly Pose, this asana opens the hips, enhances hip flexibility, and helps cool the body.
