Precautions for yoga fasting

In addition to cultivating fertility, yoga fasting can also help control appetite, help detoxify, and effectively lose weight. Today, Xiaobian will list some precautions for you during yoga fasting to help you keep fit and shape.

Here, I propose the matters to pay attention to before yoga fasting in a list of items.

Before reducing food

1. For people who want to lose weight, it is best to first measure and record their height, weight, chest circumference, and the size of the areas of concern such as waist, buttocks, calves, ankles, and upper arms.

2. You can also take photos, I believe this will be a good commemoration.

3. People who like to eat heavy flavors or meat must gradually reduce their intake before starting to fast.

4. People who usually exercise less can easily enter the fasting stage if they can gradually lengthen the walking distance in advance.

5. People who love alcohol, cigarettes, caffeine, etc. must be prohibited from touching these items, so they must adjust their emotions before starting to fast.

6. Tell your family or workplace colleagues about your fasting plan in advance and seek their approval and assistance.

7. For complex tasks such as submitting plans or negotiating, try to complete them before the fasting begins, and adjust the work content first so that you can go home early.

8. First write down the goals of this fasting and your ideal self.

During the yoga fast

1. Drink enough water.

2. Exercise more and practice Asana posture, breathing and walking.

3. Go to bed early at night and remember to go to bed early and get up early.

4. During the reduction or re-feeding stage, you must chew food carefully. Chew each bite approximately thirty to fifty times.

5. All stimulating substances such as alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine must be banned from the first day of diet reduction. Those who are hesitant in this regard don't have to worry. In fact, fasting is hard, and there are not many situations where you feel pressured because you can't enjoy your favorite products. People who really want to smoke may wish to practice breathing methods such as Sitali or Sitkari.

6. Some people will pass stool when fasting for the first time, but others cannot pass stool even after fasting many times. People who can't poop don't have to pay too much attention.

7. The tongue becomes stiff and the tongue coating becomes thicker. These are normal reactions and there is no need to worry. If the base of your tongue or lips feels dry, you can slowly lick and drink boiling water little by little.

8. When food is spinning in front of your eyes and you seem to be about to admit defeat and surrender, as long as you actually tap the first, second and third segments of your lumbar spine (your back is about the height of your navel) for a minute or two, you can effectively suppress the idea of eating.

9. If you experience feelings such as fatigue, sleepiness, collapse, headache, dizziness, anemia, etc., you can drink a small amount of salt water (natural salt).

10. If you have to stop halfway as a last resort, don't try to be brave, and remember to really resume your diet according to the menu on the first day of re-eating. It is very dangerous to resume eating at your own discretion.

11. In order to prevent dizziness or anemia, shorten the bath time and finally rinse the body with water. Or take a shower. When the water temperature is too cold, add hot water to the bathtub to increase the water temperature before rinsing your body. The energy of water can make the body and mind feel energetic.

12. In order to expel blood stasis, women should not wash their hair.

13. During the fasting period, try reading good books or enlightenment books. Try to avoid books that will put you in emotions. It is best to prepare a book that also cultivates the soul.

14. Because the five senses become sensitive, try to change your mood and don't let yourself be led by emotions or focus on food.

15. Because your mind is clearer, you can reflect on various interpersonal relationships and actively think about yourself at this time.

During re-eating

1. Try to maintain the principles of alcohol, smoking and caffeine. In the early stages of re-exposure to these things, you should feel that their stimulation is several times higher than before the fasting, so control it to a minimum. But I still sincerely hope that you will continue to ban smoking.

2. Pay attention to the light seasoning of food to maintain a sharp taste.

3. Remember to prepare a vegetarian diet for a week, and then reduce meat and try to eat less fish and eggs. When consuming protein, you should mainly use soy products (because you have less physical activity after dinner, you should reduce the intake of animal protein for dinner. In addition, midnight snacks are a major cause of obesity and a trigger for various diseases.)

4. In daily life, please carefully protect the intestines and intestines that have been accustomed to eating less and the organs that have recovered their functions. There is nothing happier than to fully exercise your body and maintain a stable and positive attitude.

5. From the fourth day (the first day of re-eating), the use of magnesium milk and other laxatives must be stopped.

6. There is no immediate bowel movement at this time. The first bowel movement after fasting will take several days to be discharged. Combine it with good exercise and diet to smooth discharge healthy feces. (Internship Editor: Yan Lili)
