Easy relief from constipation

Inappropriate work hours, less time for rest and intake of too much junk food harms our body in a way we fail to notice. A diet low on fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables, especially food low on fibre, causes constipation. Less intake of water is another reason. Yoga can help reduce stress, which greatly affects digestion. Yoga also helps to aid the digestive system, and helps to relieve gas, cramping, and bloating. When practising yoga, we become more in tune with our bodies. Knowing how your body works and how it feels is a key to recognising whether or not you have digestive issues such as constipation. Infrequent bowel movement leads to straining and bloating of the stomach and if not taken care of soon, in time can lead to hazardous diseases. The best way to prevent is to incorporate yoga in our daily routine. It increases the flow of blood and oxygen into the system. The blood flow and energy to your digestive system and its many muscles will help to keep your bowels moving more freely through the intestines and, if you are more relaxed, then less likely to strain or cause unwanted tension in the bowels. Since most yoga postures involve pelvic movement, yoga practice can really help relieve our constipation woes. Here are some postures which, if practised regularly, can set infrequent bowel movements to normal: especially twists, forward folds, and inversions. Hit your mat and try these two simple yoga poses that can be done in the comfort of your own house preferably on an empty stomach or if you had food two hours earlier. Wind moving pose STEP 1: Lie flat on your back and keep the legs straight and relaxed. Breathe deeply and rhythmically. STEP 2: Inhale slowly and lift the legs and bend at the knees. Bring upwards to the chest till your thigh touches the stomach. Hug your knees in place and lock your fingers. STEP 3: Try to touch the knee with the tip of your nose. This is not easy the first time. But with regular practise, you can do this. Hold this position for 20 to 30 seconds. You can extend it to a minute as per your capability. Now exhale slowly and come back to lie straight. Half Spinal Twist STEP 1: Kneel and sit on your feet with your heels pointing outward. STEP 2: Then sit to the right of your feet, as illustrated. STEP 3: Lift your left leg over your right, placing the foot against the outside of the right knee. Bring your right heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Keep the spine erect. STEP 4: Stretch your arms out to the sides at shoulder level, and twist around to the left. STEP 5: Now bring the right arm down on the outside of the left knee and hold your left foot with your right hand, placing your left hand on the floor behind you. As you exhale, twist as far possible to the left. Look over the left shoulder. Stay for 30 seconds. Repeat the same the other side too. Do 3 to 6 rounds
