The impact of yoga on weight and health
Many quick weight loss methods often only bring temporary results and pose potential health risks. Meanwhile, yoga is considered a safe solution, combining both physical exercise and mental training.
Dr. Sat Bir Singh Khalsa, lecturer at Harvard Medical School (USA), emphasized: Yoga not only tone muscles but also regulates the nervous system, reduces stress and stabilizes hormones, a key factor in long-term weight management.
Weight gain is not only due to eating a lot but also due to stress, lack of sleep and a sedentary lifestyle. Yoga helps increase circulation, improve digestion and boost metabolism without putting too much pressure on the body.
Five yoga poses to help control weight
Surya Namaskar (S well-behaved): A series of 12 consecutive movements that help stretch the whole body, increase heart rate and burn calories. Siddhaa Akshar, a Himalaya yoga expert, advises: Performing 12 - 24 Surya Namaskar rings every morning on an empty stomach helps detoxify the body and increase weight loss.
Trikonasana (Three- horn pose): Stretch both sides of your body, tone your waist, improve flexibility and balance.
Bhujangasana (Tigger snake Pose): The slight back bend opens your chest, increases spinal strength and reduces belly fat.
Naukasana ( Boat Pose): This pose focuses on the abdominal muscles, improving endurance and balance.
Setu Bandhasana (Bridge pose): Strengthen your hips, thighs, and back, while stimulating the thyroid gland to balance energy metabolism.
Combining yoga with a healthy lifestyle
According to Harvard Health Publishing, maintaining regular yoga will achieve optimal results when combined with a balanced, hydrated diet and punctual sleep. Eating mindfully, avoiding processed foods and staying positive helps the weight management process become more effective.
In addition, yoga also helps improve mood, reduce anxiety and increase sleep quality, which are important factors for maintaining overall health.
