Yoga for a healthy intestine | Bijoylaxmi Hota | Yoga for Super Immunity

Due to long-term abuse through inappropriate food consumption and sedentary lifestyle, the intestine loses its muscle tone and becomes sluggish, which in turn leads to constipation—the beginning of most digestive problems as well as other serious ailments. As digestive ailments take a long time to cure, it is better to prevent them. Therefore, apart from doing periodic detoxification of this organ, it is necessary to strengthen it by giving it some extra blood regularly. The following three asanas are excellent for that. One can add more for better results.
