Nowadays, there are weight loss methods everywhere, and there are all kinds of weight loss advertisements on the streets. However, some methods are better, but many of them are just superficial weight loss and may harm your body. Therefore, you must be careful when choosing a weight loss method. Some people have heard that yoga can help lose weight, so can practicing yoga really help lose weight? I believe this is also what the majority of people are eager to know. The following will introduce the knowledge of whether practicing yoga can help lose weight. I hope it can help friends who are losing weight. Calories consumed There are many yoga postures, which are combined with deep breathing to achieve meditation. When practicing, the first thing to emphasize is that each posture must be done to the practitioner's personal limit, and the posture must be maintained for 2 to 3 deep breaths. The human body consumes a certain amount of calories when completing each unconventional posture or maintaining a posture. So some people say: The calories burned by practicing yoga seriously are equivalent to playing a game of tennis. The difference is that playing tennis is accompanied by hunger, while yoga makes you feel refreshed and there is no physiological or psychological need to replenish food. 2. Adjust endocrine Once the autonomic nervous system composed of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves is out of balance, endocrine disorders and metabolic disorders will occur, which can cause people to continue eating without feeling full. If this continues, the body will inevitably gain weight. Yoga can adjust the imbalance of the autonomic nervous system, which is mainly achieved through deep breathing and correcting the shape of the spine. Deep and complete exhalation can restore the function of the parasympathetic nervous system, inhibit appetite, harmonize hunger and fullness, and align food intake with calorie needs. In addition, a large number of yoga exercises are used to correct hunchbacks and spinal curvature. While correcting the position of the spine, it actually "straightens out" the nerve pathways, unconsciously adjusting the autonomic nervous system, eliminating the practitioner's excessive appetite, and allowing the practitioner to lose weight easily without deliberately dieting. 3. Guide dietary orientation Yoga can also cultivate good dietary preferences for practitioners, so some people say that yoga will tell you what you should eat. For example, when practicing yoga movements that require high flexibility of joints and ligaments every day, practitioners will find that if they consume too much high-calorie food such as animal fat (the blood is acidic), the joints and ligaments will become sore and they will not be able to complete the movements well. On the contrary, a diet mainly composed of vegetables and fruits (alkaline foods) can relieve joint pain. Therefore, if a person likes yoga, he will gradually tend to choose foods such as vegetables and fruits, so that his diet is both nutritious and low in calories. Over time, it will become a good living habit and your weight will not rebound after losing weight. Nowadays, losing weight is no longer a small topic, but has become one of the common and more concerned issues. However, faced with so many weight loss methods, people don’t know how to choose. So can practicing yoga really help you lose weight? The above is a detailed introduction to this issue. I hope it can help everyone. When using yoga to lose weight, you can first understand the common sense introduced above. |
