Just 15 minutes of daily clapping can offer surprising health benefits
New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): There are many exercises available to maintain a healthy body, which can take care of overall health. Did you know that you can infuse new energy throughout your body with the help of your hands and palms? This may surprise you, but it's true. We're talking about clapping. Clapping is a simple and easy action, but it's a "magical cure" for the body.
In Ayurveda, clapping is called "Kar Vadan Kriya." Ayurveda believes that the hands and palms represent all parts of the body, or simply put, the palms are connected to the entire body. The palms contain all the vital points of the body, which help alleviate many disorders. Clapping for just 10 to 15 minutes daily can protect you from dozens of serious illnesses.
Acupressure is an ancient method that has been used in Ayurveda for centuries. Acupressure can even control blood pressure and sugar levels, but locating the correct focus point is essential. Today, we'll tell you about the countless benefits of clapping for 10 to 15 minutes.
Clapping reduces the pressure on the heart and blood vessels. It also reduces cholesterol. Lowering cholesterol helps the blood vessels to circulate blood better, reducing the risk of blood pressure and heart disease. You will be surprised to know that clapping reduces stress. Clapping reduces the production of the stress hormone cortisol and increases the levels of dopamine and serotonin in the brain, which makes the mind happy and relieves stress and anxiety. It is also helpful in getting good sleep.
Clapping is extremely beneficial for asthma patients. It accelerates oxygen circulation in the blood, ensuring adequate oxygen delivery to the brain and lungs. It also helps strengthen lung function. Furthermore, clapping also affects digestion and immunity, having a direct connection with the intestines and liver. Clapping increases the digestive fire in the stomach and reduces constipation and gas.
