Recently I started including some Yoga exercises like the video shows, and can say for sure how much my digestive function has improved; and also till two months ago it was scaring to see how much hair I was losing daily. This problems has decreased about 50% in such a short time.
I recommend deeply to include in your daily routine, some yoga movements.
My best wishes, Isaura
