Besides making you look younger, add yoga to your list of antioxidants and immune system boosters.
A study in the July 2015 Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine discovered that 12 weeks of yoga amped up the body’s natural defense system against toxins. Yoga raised the level of natural antioxidants in the body and strengthened the immune system.
The new study found that 12 weeks of yoga led to higher levels of antioxidants in the body and less signs of oxidative stress compared to people who did running, cycling, or jumping rope. Not only that, but the immune system of people who did yoga improved. Women and men in the study did 90 minutes of yoga weekly in a class and 40 minutes at home for at least three times a week over 12 weeks.
