Maintains DHEA level in body

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) also known as androstenolone, is a steroid hormone that is naturally made by the human body. It functions to improve the muscle to fat ratio in body and enhances the immune system. However, if the level of DHEA is low in body, it results in reduced bone density and various inflammatory diseases.

DHEA level, however, starts decreasing with age. Yoga helps in improving the level of DHEA in body and supports the body’s well-being.

But aging is not only limited to natural aging but also reduces levels of body hormones. As we go out, our body is exposed to pollution and dirt. Also, the harmful free radicals from the environment enter our body through various sources and increase the number of free radicals in body which may further cause effective signs of aging. This accelerated aging because of environmental factors is referred to as premature aging. But even in case of premature aging, the reasons are same i.e. imbalance in hormone and cholesterol levels of body.
