Different yoga health methods for different physiques
Introduction: Everyone has different physiques and seasons have different characteristics. Thousands of years ago, ancient Indians practiced yoga and attached great importance to its role in maintaining health in treating diseases. Early yoga scriptures record that the "I" of the "material body" is composed of four elements (earth, water, fire, and wind). The combination of the four major factors becomes the essence of the human body. The wind element comes into contact with matter, causing the movement of matter in the body to generate energy. The gallbladder fluid in the body is the combination of the elements of water and fire, transforming matter into energy and joining with the saliva. The earth and water elements work to nourish the body. If these four major factors are balanced with each other, the body will not function smoothly.
Yogis believe that if the four major disorders of the human body cause loss of balance, the body and mind will become sick or become sick. If the four major disorders are harmonious, all diseases will be eliminated, which will make the body and mind happy!
It is expounded in theory that different people have their own particularities in form, quality, function, and psychology. This physiological physical and mental characteristic is called physique. Physical fitness affects a person's ability to adapt to the environment and resistance to disease, as well as the tendency of disease development during the onset of the disease, which in turn affects the responsiveness of the body to treatment, thus making the human body's life processes such as birth, aging, illness, and death, have obvious individual specificity. Physical problems help analyze diseases and are of great significance to diagnosis, treatment, prevention of diseases and health preservation. Therefore, we must first understand the characteristics of different physical constitutions of the human body. For yoga practitioners, they can choose corresponding measures and methods based on their different physical characteristics to enhance their physical fitness, prevent diseases, improve physical and mental health, and achieve the purpose of prolonging life.
