On International Yoga Day, Fortis Told to adopt yoga for healthy heart
Jaipur, 21 June 2025: As June 21st is observed as International Yoga Day 2025, Fortis Escorts Hospital Jaipur highlights how yoga can help prevent chronic ailments.. With heart ailments increasing due to inactive lifestyles, unhealthy eating habits and constant stress, cardiologists suggests that yoga is a natural and effective way to maintain good heart health. More than just physical exercise, yoga helps calm the body and mind, which is important because stress is a major reason for heart-related issues.
Practicing yoga regularly has been linked not only with stress but also with improved heart rate variability, lower cholesterol levels, and better circulation—making it a holistic exercise for managing stress-induced cardiac risk. With emotional stress being a significant contributor to heart disease, particularly in urban India, yoga is increasingly being recommended by both psychiatrists and cardiologists as a complementary therapy to enhance mental calmness and heart function.
Dr. Rahul Singhal, Additional Director, Cardiology and Electrophysiology, said “Yoga plays a vital role in maintaining heart health by reducing chronic stress, which is a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases. Regular yoga practice helps lower blood pressure, regulate heart rate, and improve blood circulation, which supports overall cardiac function. It also helps reduce levels of cortisol and adrenaline, (stress hormones that strain the heart over time). Additionally, the calming effects of yoga improve sleep, emotional stability, and lifestyle choices, indirectly lowering the risk of hypertension, heart attacks, and stroke. In a country like India, where lifestyle-related heart issues are on the rise, integrating yoga into daily life can be a powerful preventive tool. This International Yoga Day, we encourage individuals to adopt yoga not just for peace of mind, but as a long-term commitment to a healthier heart and a healthier life.”
