~ Suggests yoga as a therapeutic way to maintain fitness and well-being~
Bangalore, June 21, 2016: Investing time to maintain the fitness and overall health of the body contributes towards achieving one’s personal goals and enhances one’s personal life. Keeping this in mind, Apollo Spectra Clinics is organizing free yoga camps across all its centers, pan India to mark International Yoga Day this year to increase awareness about staying fit and healthy during all the stages of life.
People these days are more prone to weight gain, back problems and vision issues as a result of following a sedentary lifestyle. It has been noticed that people of younger ages are now visiting their doctors with back issues and dry eyes, an issue that commonly arises out of working for long hours in front of the computer. Many of these problems stem out due to lack of enough time being devoted to physical activity.
Commenting on the importance of keeping fit, Neeraj Garg, CEO, Apollo Health and Lifestyle said, “People are becoming more concerned about their body fitness and health these days. At Apollo Health and Lifestyle, we have always stressed on practicing yoga as part of lifestyle improvement action plans, since regular practice of yoga can help reduce levels of stress, enhance mobility, lower blood pressure and improve overall wellbeing.”
“Yoga can easily be practiced at home once a person learns how to perform the postures and stretches correctly. In today’s age where an increasing number of people spend most of their time at a desk, it is increasingly important to perform stretches whenever possible to exercise the muscles,” added Dr. Gautam Kodikal, Orthopaedic Surgeon, Apollo Spectra Hospital, Kormangala
