Twists are said to aid digestion

Create space between vertebra
Twists create space between the vertebrae which improves posture.

Detoxifying
BKS Iyengar said twists are detoxifying because of the squeeze and soak action.

Improved posture leads to reduces anxiety
Twists improve posture by creating more space in your spine. More space in your spine means better posture, and better posture means less anxiety.

Instant energy hit
Twists are a bit like eating pasta - they give an instant energy lift. Whenever your energy is low, if you do a twist you'll instantly top up your energy supplies.

Twists help surrounding supportive soft tissue go from short and dysfunctional, to long and healthy (twists extend muscles to their full length).

Oil or Joints
Twists prevents joints from hardening and fusing.

Perfect counter pose for forward & back bends
Twists are perfect poses to do immediately after a bunch strong back bends and/or forward bends.

Twists rotate the spine and stretch back muscles.
