The following excerpt taken from the article entitled SCIENCE AND YOGA of the Health & Fitness section of the journal called 2001: SCIENCE TODAY, dated June 1990, reveals the striking secret why the diseased and senior citizens are more susceptible to the Novel Corona.
"..............The second upshot is that scientists began to look at the brain-thymus feedback loop. The thymus gland seems to be involved in another 'death-defying' process of yoga called Viparita-Karani (or Sarvangasana, also called ' mother of all asanas' by yogis like Iyengar). The thymus, crucial to our immune systems, is the first gland in the body to atrophy. We start with 200 and 250 g at birth. After puberty, the gland begins to shrink rapidly and by the time we are into our sixth decade, it is merely a clump weighing 3g ! The thymus is not only involved in our immune response to fight invading disease organisms, it is involved also in variety of hormone pathways including weight control and production of beta-endorphin, or the 'feel good' chemical in the brain.....The thymus and its hormones control the production of white blood cells called T cells. These are called the 'brains and brawn' of our body's immune system..... The thymosins invigorate this entire immunological system. But the thymosin hormones do a whole lot of other tricks to rejuvenate the entire system, Allan Goldstein, the ace biochemist at George Washington University, USA, has found. His four-year-old prediction, that thymosins would be the world's first anti-ageing pills to hit the market, was fulfilled not in the West but in the USSR last year. However, hundreds of years ago, Indian yogis seemed to have discovered a route to these supplements through stimulative poses that work on the glandular system. ..........Hard-nosed researchers are uncovering dimensions through which yoga works its 'wonders' on the human body........."
For the above amazing facts, it is the need of the hour for everyone to practise yoga, irrespective of our age, gender, cultural background, etc. in addition to the other directives of the WHO and our respective Govt. Stay safe and healthy! God loves you, and so do I.
