Stress is an inevitable occurrence that can result from many of our day-to-day activities and interactions. It can be due to something as mundane as the physical stress from traveling to a deeper, more long-term source, such as a toxic work environment or conflicts with peers. While there is a suitable type of stress that can create resilience or strength, too much of it \u2013 as with any other thing in excess \u2013 never does anyone any good.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your asthma is triggered by physical activity, yoga is a good choice because it keeps your heart rate down.<\/p>\n\n\n

Not only is stress physically challenging to deal with, but it can also be a hindrance to our productivity and our social life. We can become less active and energetic to the point that we may neglect work or be too moody and uninvested in engaging with people.<\/span> Adrenaline increases your heart rate, elevates your blood pressure and boosts energy supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to get to the physiological root of the stress, you are experiencing, it is most likely impacting your adrenal glands. These are the glands that produce your stress hormones, namely cortisol and adrenaline. When you are exposed to a significant amount of fatigue over long periods, it takes a toll on your adrenal glands, and you may end up feeling weak and lethargic. According to <\/span>Medical News Today<\/span><\/a>, some reported symptoms are a feeling of tiredness, difficulty sleeping and getting up, unusual cravings for sweet and salty food, dependence on stimulants such as caffeine, digestive disorders, and weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While science backs up this insight, according to the <\/span>Harvard Health Publishing<\/span><\/a> website, adrenal fatigue is not recognized as an actual disease. Specialists from the Endocrinology Society state that \u201cno scientific proof exists to support adrenal fatigue as a true medical condition.\u201d Nonetheless, the symptoms of this \u201cnonexistent\u201d condition continue to spread. The challenge is how to treat it when medical practitioners don\u2019t even acknowledge it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, there is a safe and natural way to revive these glands and combat stress from this so-called \u201cadrenal fatigue\u201d. According to <\/span>One Medical<\/span><\/a>, Pranayama, which is the formal practice of controlling breathing, can help relieve the body\u2019s stress and contribute to one\u2019s overall physical and mental state of well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrana\u201d means our vital life source, and the practice of Pranayama<\/a> involves various exercises, poses, sequences, and breathing techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
