Pranayama or Controlled Breathing

Pranayama is the control of bioenergy in the body, which cures your body of a range of age-related diseases.

And while the right nostril is still closed, inhale fully through the lift nostril. Finally, exhale through the right nostril with the left one closed. Repeat this three times.

Meditate to declutter your mind, unwind and relax. Sit comfortably with your eyes closed and observe your breath. Let the thoughts flow and follow your breath. Practising this daily can do wonders!
