Remedies to overcome the deficiency of hemoglobin: Anemia affects approximately 1.62 billion people worldwide. WHO (World Health Organisation) estimates that India has the highest prevalence of anemia, especially among women.
What is the cause of anemia?
Anemia is a condition in which the iron content or hemoglobin level in the blood is below normal levels. For men, normal levels = 13.5 g / 100 ml and in women = 12.0 g / 100 ml below these levels cause anemia.
Oxygen plays a crucial role in every living creature’s breathing processes, energy production, and metabolism. Hemoglobin or the iron element in the blood performs the main function of oxygen transport at the cellular level. When the hemoglobin level in the bloodstream is low; The blood will not supply the body’s cell oxygen. Thus, the lungs and heart will work longer and harder to supply the necessary oxygen.
Symptoms of anemia:
- Tiredness
- low energy
- shortness of breath and headache
- not paying attention to something
- insomnia problem
- Dizziness
- yellowing of the skin
Yoga therapy helps in preventing and curing the condition of anemia. This condition can be cured by regular practice of pranayama, yoga asanas, meditation, and proper dietary changes.
Pranayama:
