A study done at the University Hospital in Sweden indicates that exercise may have a positive effect. They concluded that these results could be due to exercise affecting one of the mechanisms that provokes hot flashes involving neurotransmitter activity. Exercise reduces muscle tension and emotional anxiety that exacerbate sleeplessness . Regular practice of breathing techniques protects the heart and can help to reduce blood pressure especially in combination with Yoga exercises and meditation. It does this by releasing muscle tension in the autonomic nervous system, which controls the contraction and relaxation of smooth muscles such as the heart and blood vessel walls.
Breathing also can relieve insomnia, by relaxing the body and reducing the activity of the mind.
If you have trouble sleeping, breathing exercises will help you achieve peaceful, natural sleep without drugs or alcohol. Regular exercise washes away feelings of sluggishness. Exercise creates more energy. Energy in food is funneled through ATP, adenosine triphosphate. The process of synthesizing food into these energy-rich cells is enhanced by sustained aerobic activity.
