It also provides a deep cleansing of the body's tissues and helps treat such problems as high blood pressure, irritability and disturbed sleep. Pranayama breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic response calms the body and neutralizes the stress and anxiety triggered by an overactive sympathetic nervous system.

The best choice for cooking or salad dressings is olive oil.

However in the three years prior to my diagnosis I had fallen away from my yoga practice and was overcome by my thoughts and reactions to my life situation, in other words, I manifested stress in my body.
