5 Benefits of Legs Up the Wall

If you've never tried yoga but you would like to, this easy pose may interest you. Known as Viparita Karana asana in Sanskrit, or legs-up-the-wall pose in English, it has long received mainstream attention from running enthusiasts and those who sit down all day. The reason? It works wonders for tense bodies that need a little rejuvenation. You don't need to attend a class or workshop to reap the benefits of this pose because all you need is a wall. Let's take a look at what good this pose can do for you: 

 

1. Improves Digestion
Movement in the abdomen helps to massage the intestine which helps fight constipation and boosts digestion. Your appetite may also increase due to better, and consequently, quicker elimination of digested food. 
2. Promotes Healthy Circulation
As this is considered to be an inverted pose, blood flow increases to the upper part of the body, bringing a rush of oxygen with it. Your lymphatic system also gets a good flush. This helps to reduce the swelling in the lower extremities and can assist with blood pressure problems. 

3. Aids in Pain Relief
This pose works the muscles in the pelvis and helps to strengthen the reproductive organs, ease menstrual cramps and symptoms of menopause. It also exercises stiff joints beneficial for those who suffer from arthritis or fibromyalgia. Leg cramping can subside with regular practice. This pose also aids with headache relief and prevention, especially those caused by slow-moving blood. 

4. Reduces Stress and Anxiety
Relaxing on your back with your legs elevated helps calm your mind and helps you to let go. Combined with deep breathing this pose helps you to slow down and lets your parasympathetic nervous system take over. Best of all, you get to lie there and let your mind drift. 
5. Stretches Hips, Legs, Back
Your calf and leg muscles, hamstrings and back will get a good stretch with this pose. Your neck and hips will also feel a good stretch as you move into and out of the pose. Over time, it will make your body more flexible and elastic and it will relieve tension and pain in those areas. Practice on a regular basis to help heal chronic back pain. 
Tips: A slight bend in the knee is fine if you have some trouble keeping your legs vertical. Just be sure to keep your spine aligned for maximum benefit. If you want a deeper stretch, spread your feet into a small 'V' formation. To start, begin slowly, no more than 5 or 10 minutes at a time until your body adjusts to being in this position. In time, you can build up to 15 minutes.
However, if you have a neck, hip or back injury you should avoid doing this pose. In addition, people with glaucoma or a history of cardiac or stroke issues should avoid this asana as it may increase pressure around the head and the heart. As always, be sure to consult with your doctor first if you have major health issues.

Men may become infertile due to diabetes

There are two major reasons for people to get diabetes- when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the cells in the body do not respond adequately to insulin produced.

"It is not difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle that includes a healthy diet and regular exercise which will easily help you in combating the disease," said a Dr.

It is important to keep your blood glucose level in control. But it is the most important when you are planning to start a family. Recent reports have shown that diabetes can cause infertility in males. It is advisable to keep your glucose level in check before it affects your sex life leading to infertility.
 
Reproductive side effects of diabetes in males:
When it comes to diabetes and infertility, chances are higher in males. Diabetes directly affects the fertility in human body. The chances of infertility are higher in males. The scientific reason behind the same is that the oxidative stress caused due to high glucose level damages the DNA of the sperm.
Thus, DNA gets damaged and fragmented. This causes a natural death of the cells which in turn makes it difficult for men to make their wives pregnant. Therefore, it is necessary that you keep a check on blood glucose level. Not only this, high blood glucose level lowers the testosterone (a hormone controlling sexual drive in males) level as well making diabetes one of the major reasons that kill your sexual drive.

Another condition affecting the fertility in males is the 'Retrograde Ejaculation'. Men who suffer from this are unable to process a full- fledged ejaculation of sperms as the semen goes back into the bladder instead of being ejaculated normally during sex. Sperm count in the semen may be normal, but the ejaculated sperm count remains low. The nerve damage prevents them from tightening and thus the ejaculated semen drops back into the bladder.

Diabetes if uncontrolled may cause erectile dysfunction as it will affect the nerves and small blood vessels that lead to ejaculation. It can be controlled with proper health checkup and medications.
These medications improve the blood flow to the reproductive organs thereby leading to erection. This whole condition of erectile dysfunction and cell damage is called impotence.

There are drugs that tighten the bladder muscles might help send the ejaculated sperms in right direction. Assisted reproduction techniques help in removing the sperms from the bladder. In vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures have made the process of fertilization man-made and controllable.
Obesity is also one of the major reasons why blood glucose levels rise. Thus, losing weight can improve your sperm count by keeping blood glucose level within a normal safety range.

Should you try and conceive if you are suffering from diabetes?
It often makes diabetic partners wonder whether it is safe to make the partner conceive and get pregnant at all. You need to understand the whole depth of the disease and risks associated with it. You just cannot simply put the life you are planning to welcome or the existing one at risk. There are chances that you try to control your glucose levels from high to normal and it gets back on track but the possibilities are to be honest very little.
