Causes of Hypertension:

  • Hypertension is an independent condition which means that it is not triggered by other medical conditions like diabetes, heart-related problems or kidney malfunctioning. 
  • Stress is a significant factor that causes hypertension. When you are stressed, your heart beats faster, and your blood vessels contract. 
  • Other factors such as adverse lifestyle choices including smoking, drinking, drug abuse also causes harm. 
  • If you do not exercise enough or are overweight, you could be heading towards hypertension.

Here are four yoga postures that you can follow to keep a check on diabetes  -

1. Padottanasana  (Wide-Angle Standing Forward Bend): This pose helps in stretching your back and the thighs while your legs are challenged to be strong. Padottanasana is known to calm the mind. It also relieves mild backache by stretching your spine, shoulder and chest. It's therefore no surprise that this asana is often used as a balm for frayed or anxious nerves.

2. Uttanasana  (Standing Forward Bend Pose):  This incredibly beneficial posture is both therapeutic and revitalising. In Uttanasana, your head is below your heart. This allows the unusual occasion for blood to rush to your head (rather than your feet), giving your cells a rejuvenating boost of oxygen. It strengthens the thighs and spine and provides flexibility. Uttanasana activates the abdominal muscle and improves digestion and eases symptoms of menopause, asthma, headaches and insomnia. It may lower high blood pressure and is therapeutic for infertility, osteoporosis, and sinusitis.

3. Trikonasana  (Triangle Pose):  The Triangle Pose is very important for health and wellness. It has the ability to bring stability, strength and stamina in one’s life. Therapeutically, it is good for strengthening the core and legs. Trikosana helps in shedding extra fat from the various parts of the body i.e. stomach, hips, thighs and waist. It also eliminates aches and pains in the back, neck and the entire body. One of the great advantages of this yoga pose is that it can be practiced at any time or at any place.

4. Dandasana  (Staff Pose):  Dandasana is also known as staff pose; it improves and teaches you to sit with correct posture. Practicing this regularly brings more flexibility in your hips and pelvis henceforth strengthening your spine and lower back.
