Flexibility... How many of us stretch? How many of us stretch on a daily basis or even a weekly basis...or even a monthly basis? I'm guessing not many. We take for granted that we are mobile and agile while we are young, but as we grow older we will feel the consequence of not keeping our bodies limber. Stretching is good for us for a variety of reasons, but this week we are focusing on sexual health so we will explore this subject in more detail.
Yesterday we talked about "flow"...blood flow to be exact...and how it relates to sex. Well, another way to improve blood flow throughout our bodies is to incorporate stretching into our daily routines. Besides relieving stress, stretching also increases muscle flexibility, improves circulation and widens the range of motion in our joints. So we can see four benefits already and all four are important factors in better sex. I don't think I have to explain or go into further detail as to why this is.
A great way to stay limber is by practicing Yoga. Yoga is a great way to stretch. For thousands of years yoga has been practiced in India and is a hit now in America. The stretching of the joints, muscles, and tendons through the varied body postures can demonstrate remarkable improvements in our flexibility, blood flow and circulation, and in many, an increase in overall health benefits. Yoga has also been shown to lower blood pressure and pulse rates while increasing energy levels, among many other benefits. The great thing about stretching is you can also enjoy it in the comfort of your own home or even at work. Buy a simple stretching guide and follow it's simple routines for better health. Also, the best time to stretch is when we first wake up and get out of bed. Our bodies are in their most relaxed state and you can really achieve deep stretches that will keep you loose for the rest of the day.
Don't take for granted this simple, yet potent, art form of fitness.
More tomorrow!
