Abstract

Yoga is an ancient Indian practice that involves the mind and body. It is a combination of physical exercises and postures with a focus on deep breathing and meditation. Yoga thereby promotes a healthy lifestyle which is one of the key factors in the prevention of various cardiovascular diseases. The practice of yoga might hence be effective in preventing the onset of these diseases. Yoga exerts its beneficial effects by favorable modulation of the autonomic system, reduction in oxidative stress, decreased inflammatory stress, improved endothelial function, and epigenetic changes. These changes might contribute not only to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases but also to delaying and preventing the onset of various modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. This review aims to delineate the possible mechanisms of the effect of yoga on cardiovascular health and its potential beneficial effects.

瑜伽与心血管疾病--机理综述。
瑜伽是一种涉及身心的古老印度练习。它结合了身体锻炼和姿势练习,注重深呼吸和冥想。瑜伽能促进健康的生活方式,而健康的生活方式是预防各种心血管疾病的关键因素之一。因此,练习瑜伽可以有效预防这些疾病的发生。瑜伽通过调节自律神经系统、减少氧化应激、降低炎症应激、改善内皮功能和表观遗传学变化来发挥其有益作用。这些变化不仅有助于预防心血管疾病,还能延缓和预防各种可改变的心血管风险因素的发生。本综述旨在阐述瑜伽对心血管健康影响的可能机制及其潜在的有益作用。
