Michael Mosley backs exercise that 'slows down' aging process and boost health

Health expert Michael Mosley believes he may have discovered a crucial tool in the quest to stay healthy as we age.

The practice, which has been around for at least 5000 years, only gained global popularity in the 19th century when photographs allowed the various movements and poses to be easily shared worldwide. "There is some really interesting research that suggests that doing regular yoga can lower chronic inflammation which is linked to heart disease and cancer and also doing yoga can boost your mood, which might help you with motivation and get you going in other areas of activity. Research shows that this mind-body intervention really does come with a wide range of health benefits."

Following this period, 60 per cent of the yoga group were no longer clinically depressed, compared to only a 10 per cent improvement in the history group. Dr Mosley added: "These effects, along with lower levels of inflammatory markers, are thought to be the main reasons behind yoga's impact on anxiety and depression.
