Insights into Hand Health.
Medical research is shining new light on the importance of our hand health.
5 surprising benefits of hand yoga.
1. Hand yoga can reduce hand pain.
Doing hand yoga helps to stretch and strengthen hands, get blood flowing, get synovial fluid flowing, and increase grip strength. Each of these things can reduce hand pain.
2. Grip strength can lower blood pressure.
In multiple studies, including an AARP study in 2013, researchers found that improving grip strength can lower blood pressure by as much as 10%.
3. Grip strength can be a better indicator of heart health than blood pressure.
Research strongly suggests that hand grip strength can be a better indicator of longevity of life, cardiovascular health, heart attacks and strokes, and overall quality of life than blood pressure or physical activity level.
4. Grip strength correlates to higher quality of life.
Research has shown a strong positive correlation between quality of life and grip strength.
5. Hand health improves hand beauty.
Research has suggested that improving your hand health and grip strength can keep your hands looking, feeling, and working younger.
