Four reasons why you should practice yoga carefully

Yoga was originally a practice method among ancient Indian monks, but is now popular around the world. Beautiful words such as bodybuilding, weight loss, reducing stress and even curing or alleviating common diseases such as arthritis hit the "key" of today's women who love beauty. So they all donated money and joined the "cultivation" army. As everyone knows, yoga, which claims to cure diseases, is not very "healthy" in itself--

In recent years, more and more people have become sick from practicing yoga. The majority of the patients were fashionable women and patients around the age of 30. The main condition is muscle strain and ligament sprain. According to orthopedic experts, excessive exercise of camel pose in yoga poses can cause paralysis in severe cases, cause the annular ligament to collapse inwards, and damage the cervical spine. The lotus seat style is not good for the hip and knee joints. If done for a long time, it will have side effects in old age.

In fact, yoga is not a simple way to exercise, and you should persist in exercising. If your body is not fully stretched, you can easily get injured. According to reports: Yoga was originally taught one-on-one and took many years to practice.

No national standard yoga instructors are mostly crash course students

According to industry insiders, yoga is now in a relatively free state. Nowadays, yoga has no standards, and all yoga certificates are issued by enterprises or private organizations. Tan Qiuxiang, a doctor at the Sports Trauma Treatment Center of Henan Province, said: "Yoga instructors are mainly college students, majoring in sports. Every club has yoga, but how can there be so many yoga instructors? Some clubs train athletes simply, just like a crash course, and they can become yoga instructors in two months or even two weeks."

Unlimited business opportunities and interests drive the yoga industry to expand rapidly

According to industry insiders, compared with the United States, yoga has 10 billion yuan in business opportunities in China. In some clubs in Henan, it costs 1380 yuan to apply for an annual card, 680 yuan for a quarterly card, and 980 yuan for a semi-annual card. Based on this calculation, if millions of people in China practice yoga every year, yoga training alone will cost billions of yuan. At present, many manufacturers have begun to produce yoga clothes, yoga mats, yoga bricks, yoga ropes, and yoga bags.

At the same time, industry insiders are dissatisfied with the current situation of only female enthusiasts and have begun to attract people of all ages and classes to create men's yoga, elderly yoga, pregnant women's yoga, parent-child yoga, office yoga, couple yoga, and even claimed to be able to increase sexual interest.

Overstated, some exercise methods have no scientific basis

Yoga teaches that cleansing the stomach can play a role in detoxification and beautifying the face. It is on an empty stomach, drink a cup of warm, mild salt water, and do five or six yoga movements to twist the stomach and abdomen. After a while, the students will "go to the toilet frantically, and everyone will line up." If not, use your fingers to stimulate your throat and spit out the waste. However, medical experts denied this view: "For a normal person, artificially drinking salt water causes him to vomit violently, which should not be beneficial to health. At least it will cause trauma to the patient's esophagus or gastric mucosa."

High-temperature yoga is respected as a good way to lose weight. It requires practicing for 1 hour at a high temperature of 38 - 42 degrees Celsius 3 hours before practice. Don't eat and drink less water within 3 hours after practice. Try to eat vegetarian food. In this way, after practicing yoga at high temperatures, most people will lose weight, but high temperatures will imbalance body fluids and cause people to faint.

It is true that practicing yoga is indeed a good choice for relieving stress, and we cannot deny its efficacy. However, what kind of person is suitable for practicing and how should we practice? This is worth considering carefully. What we should enjoy is the relief brought by exercise, rather than the pain caused by people's "ignorance". The pervasiveness of business can easily blind our enthusiasm. Therefore, finding a balance between impulse and reason will often make us less regretful after the event. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
