What should you do after practicing yoga?

Do you know that there are precautions before and after practicing yoga? For example, can you eat before practicing yoga? Can you eat after practicing yoga? Also, how much rest time can you take during yoga without feeling tired? Many people ask me these questions. Today I will take you into the world of yoga and learn about the precautions before and after practicing yoga to prevent physical discomfort.

1. Yoga should be practiced on an empty stomach.

It is best to practice three to four hours after a meal, or about half an hour after drinking fluids, unless otherwise specified in the practice.

In addition to eating too much which can cause abdominal pain during exercise, other factors such as not doing enough warm-up exercises can also cause abdominal pain. When the human body suddenly switches from a resting state to an active state without doing warm-up exercises or doing insufficient warm-up exercises, the gastrointestinal tract will be vibrated due to running and jumping, and the intestinal peristalsis will also change, causing digested food and residues to accumulate in the ileocecal region, and pain may be caused by this expansion and stimulation.

That is to say, if you only eat one apple for this meal, you can practice after your stomach is almost digested. As long as your stomach is empty and you don't jump around right away to cause gastroptosis or food to enter the non-digestive tract, it will be fine.

Exercise 30 minutes after drinking fluids. Do you have this feeling? After drinking water, whether you go running or exercising, do you have this feeling: your stomach is "banging" like a water bag. You will feel embarrassed and uncomfortable, and your gastrointestinal tract will also feel uncomfortable, so we should not practice immediately after drinking water. If a friend is really thirsty, he can take a small sip, and no more than 60 ml is appropriate.

Then let’s look at it again. There are other regulations in the practice. What does it mean to not follow this example? This is because of our cleansing practice. For example, in the six karmas of Hatha, Shanka Prasamrana, the practice of Shanka requires drinking a lot of water. It uses water and specific movements to flush your intestines. Therefore, there are other regulations in the practice and this example does not apply. In addition, there is hot yoga practice, which involves a lot of sweating and excessive water loss during the entire practice. You can sip water to replenish water during the practice.

2. When doing various yoga exercises, you must gently stretch your body at the edge of your limit, and never push or pull hard. Any movement beyond your limit is incorrect exercise.

There is another thing to note. The editor tells you that you must activate your tibia before practicing yoga. This will allow the body to adapt to difficult movements more quickly and avoid sprains. How to activate your muscles and bones? You can do some warm-up exercises and practice basic movements first. If you accidentally sprain your foot, you should go to the hospital immediately to apply medicine, otherwise it will easily cause the bones to deform. Everyone must be careful.
