    Apart from being an effective means of lowering high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, the ancient art of yoga is being hailed as a fantastic way to slow erratic heartbeat and restore it to its normal rhythm. US researchers found that the practice of yogic exercises not only helps reduce episodes of irregular heartbeat but also lifts depression and anxiety in people ailing from the condition. According to experts, a racing and skipping heart is a signal of a heart rhythm abnormality - atrial fibrillation (AF), which not only reduces the amount of blood pumped with each heartbeat but also increases the risk of stroke. Lead author of the study Dr. Dhanunjaya Lakkireddy, an associate professor with the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kansas, stated, "The practice of yoga is known to improve many risk factors for heart disease including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, hardening of the arteries, and stress and inflammation in the body. "There are currently no proven complementary therapies that are known to help decrease the symptoms of atrial fibrillation in a non-invasive fashion with minimal side effects and reasonable safety and efficacy."…
