Regular practice of yoga helps to boost metabolism among women which in turn helps in maintaining a healthy body weight and controlling hunger pangs too.
When you are feeling low, yoga can come to your rescue get you out of depression. Many eminent studies have proved that people who are suffering and living with stress and depression on a regular basis can benefit a lot from yoga.

This is one of the most important benefits of yoga for women – regular yoga practice massages our internal organs and helps to boost the immunity of our body.

Though yoga existed from ancient times, prenatal yoga and postnatal yoga is slowly but steadily catching up these days. Practicing prenatal yoga can help to give birth to a child naturally – this is beneficial both for the mother and her new born. I can vouch for this personally as I attended prenatal yoga classes diligently and had a normal delivery at the age of 32! (Of course, in some cases, a natural delivery is not advisable, and this is not meant to look down on anyone who had a C-Sec).
An important component of yoga is focusing on the present moment and driving distractions away. Studies have found that regular yoga practice improves mind and body coordination, reaction time, and memory.
Yoga lowers blood sugar and bad cholesterol and increases good cholesterol. Once your blood sugar levels are down, you automatically decrease your risk of diabetics and its related complications like heart attack, kidney damage, and blindness.
So, now that you know about the multiple benefits of yoga for women, get your yoga mat now and start practicing yoga regularly. Sit in a quiet room that is nice and comfortable as well.
Remember, early morning is the best time for yoga though you can figure out your own suitable time. Gradually, you will also feel a positive change in your thought process and a whole new approach towards life. Make your Yoga routine an exclusive me-time for yourself. Take a break from the demands of being a mother, wife, career woman, and just be yourself for sometime. Welcome to the new you!

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
