Such foods must be avoided. So you must know what types of food are good for your health. You should always opt for fiber rich vegetables that help improve bowel movement.

However, there are several other foods like yogurt, bananas and garlic that not only help you cleanse your bowels, but also increase the numbers of gut bacteria to make your stomach clean and healthy. These foods are known as probiotics. Cumin, ginger and oatmeal should also be included in your daily diet to prevent the formation of gas. Otherwise, it can have several ill effects on your health. Try some yogic asanas like Apanasana and Paschimottanasana to boost the performance of your digestive system.

Herbs like ginger, turmeric and garlic are rich in antioxidants that are capable to prevent several types of cancer, a life threatening disease. Unfortunately, my father has passed away due to cancer. However, you can try yogic asanas like Viparita Karani, Bhujangasana, Matsyasana and Adho Mukha Svanasana to boost the flow of rich oxygenated blood to all over the body so that your immune system gets improved.

4. Getting Relaxed - I don’t know how a cup of green tea make you feel relaxed, because I have never ever taken it. But it is said that sipping green tea can help you relax at the end of the day. Other than tea, you can take honey, celery, milk, oatmeal, and dark chocolate to calm your stress level. Pranayama is one of the popular yoga breathing techniques that help you reduce tension. This breathing technique is really useful for asthmatic patients. Several patients are feeling better by practicing pranayama.
