Elevated uric acid can cause joint pain and kidney problems. Yoga, combined with a balanced diet, helps regulate uric acid levels. Here are five yoga poses to try:
Sukhasana (Easy Pose)
This calming seated pose promotes relaxation and improves circulation, helping the body eliminate excess uric acid. Sit cross-legged, focus on deep breathing, and keep your back straight.
Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose)
This pose strengthens the back, shoulders, and kidneys while improving digestion. Lie facedown, place your hands under your shoulders, and raise your chest while keeping your pelvis grounded.
Viparita Karani (Legs-Up-The-Wall Pose)
This pose enhances circulation and helps rid the body of toxins like uric acid. Lie on your back, extend your legs against a wall, and relax while breathing deeply.
Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half Lord of the Fishes Pose)
A seated twist that aids detoxification and stimulates abdominal organs. Twist your torso towards the bent knee while sitting, and breathe deeply.
Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend)
This forward bend stretches the hamstrings and stimulates the kidneys, supporting uric acid filtration. Sit with your legs extended, and lean forward to stretch your spine.
