It is no longer in doubt that practicing physical activity on a regular basis is essential to staying in good health. But sometimes the idea of putting on our sneakers and starting to sweat doesn’t necessarily motivate us. A recent study carried out by researchers at UCLA Health could change your mind!
Indeed, according to this new research, one sport in particular would be ideal for countering cognitive decline: Kundalini yoga. This very gentle form of yoga focuses mainly on breathing exercises and in-depth stretching work, thus allowing a reconnection to reality. To achieve this result, researchers observed 22 women at risk of one day developing Alzheimer’s. All participants were at least 61 years old. It turned out that Kundalini yoga helped strengthen connections in an area of the brain sensitive to stress and linked to memory decline.
Remember that the benefits of yoga in general are multiple. The flexibility acquired with its practice allows you to gain mobility, increase the body’s range of motion and be more comfortable in everyday movements. In addition, this sport would be excellent for fighting depression.
