Steps and benefits of Tadasana

Our diet and lifestyle are at the root of all diseases irrespective of which boy organ it affects. On top of that, if you live in a city where the air and water are polluted, then the risk of disease increases many fold. As a result, the immune system becomes weaker over time and loses its ability to prevent diseases

Every person is the pursuit of happiness and good health. Material desires attract man from one to the next distractions and that leads to unhappiness and many of these materialistic pursuits are also directly associated with illnesses. Another problem with running after materialistic goals is that people often forget all about enjoying what they have and the simple joys of life.

Always remember that you can enjoy your life only when you are healthy. And to be healthy all organs and systems of the body needs to be completely disease-free.
