A combination of aerobic exercise and Indian yoga significantly reduced blood pressure
Roll out the yoga mat and hop on the treadmill—a new study suggests that combining yoga and aerobic exercise may improve your heart health. After studying patients with heart disease, researchers at the American College of Cardiology found that a combination of aerobic exercise and Indian yoga significantly reduced blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, weight, and waist circumference—each of which contributes to poor heart health.
What’s more, this powerful pairing was also shown to reduce mental, physical, and vascular stress, as well as lead to decreased cardiovascular mortality. With this in mind, add some downward dogs to your exercise routine—your heart will thank you!
