Energy and Strength –
The energy in the body depends on the Udan Vayu. Those who have good balanced Udan Vayu, have good energy and strength in their body.
When there is a lot of strength, hard work, we cover both the lips, close the breath, pull the abdominal muscles inwards and combine all the strength and it is done by Udan Vayu.

Color –
The body’s color is expressed by Udanavayu.
