== Benefits of vyayama ==
== Benefits of vyayama ==
The health benefits of vyayama are described in depth in Ayurveda treatises. Although the definition of 'Vyayama', mentioned earlier speaks about gaining strength and firmness of body through vyayama, it is not the only benefit vyayama gives. Acharya Charaka has listed the health benefits of vyayama as below,
दोषक्षयोऽग्निवृद्धिश्च व्यायामादुपजायते||३२|| C.S.7
लाघवं कर्मसामर्थ्यं स्थैर्यं दुःखसहिष्णुता | दोषक्षयोऽग्निवृद्धिश्च व्यायामादुपजायते||३२|| (Char. Samh. Sutra 7/32)
At another instance, while listing the best sources of gaining particular quality in body, Acharya Charaka has described Vyayama to be the best act which generates stability. This can also refer to the anti-ageing effects of vyayama.
व्यायामः स्थैर्यकराणां (C.su 25/40)
व्यायामः स्थैर्यकराणां (C.su 25/40)
Additionally, adorning desired shape to the body by toning the muscles and also reducing the meda (equivalent to fats or adipose tissue in body) are some other positive effects of vyayama listed by Acharya Sushruta.
लाघवं कर्मसामर्थ्यं दीप्तोऽग्निर्मेदसः क्षयः| विभक्तघनगात्रत्वं व्यायामादुपजायते||१०||
व्यायामो हि सदा पथ्यो बलिनां स्निग्धभोजिनाम् ||४५||
In Sushruta Samhita, Acharya Sushruta describes in detail the effects of vyayama on various health aspects of a human being. (Su chi 24/ 39-45) Those are as follows,
