Can practicing yoga lose weight?

There are many people who come to the museum every day to consult about yoga, and everyone has different purposes for exercising. Today, for those who want to lose weight, let's talk about yoga to lose weight.

Some members said that some yoga teachers are fat themselves and feel that yoga cannot help lose weight. This is true. Yoga teachers are great in theoretical knowledge and postures, but they are still fat. Fat and thinness are mostly related to genes. I think losing weight should be to eliminate useless fat, but the genetic instructions require that the amount of fat stored in your body will not change. Therefore, some people will always have more fat, while others will have less. People's genes will not change, so it is difficult for people with easy fatness to lose weight to the fat level of people with easy fatness.

In addition, endocrine disorders or energy imbalances are important acquired factors leading to obesity.

There are many reasons for endocrine disorders, such as irregular work and rest or diet, emotional fluctuations, mental or physical stress, etc., which may affect the normal work of endocrine organs, decline in body metabolism, and lead to obesity. Practicing yoga can help these endocrine organs return to normal work, thereby adjusting various hormones and secreted substances to normal levels, thereby controlling obesity or thinness. This control is to maintain the fat mass at approximately the level of genetic instructions.

Energy imbalance is related to diet and exercise. An unreasonable diet structure will cause excessive intake of calories, and less exercise will cause these calories to be stored in the form of fat. Over the past few years of practicing yoga, we have found that long-term practice will change eating habits. For example, every meal will never be full. Vegetarian food will be more delicious. Occasionally, eating meat will find it delicious, but I don't like meat as the main ingredient. Vegetarian food makes the stomach comfortable and there are few digestive tract diseases. It will not accumulate too much toxins in the body, and it will be refreshing inside and outside the body.

This dietary structure prevents the calories intake from being too high, so it does not produce too much fat. Some fat people like to lose weight by not eating. The body cannot eat every day. It can also cause them to look fat but malnourished. It can also cause hypoglycemia, which will not last long. Although people have lost weight, their desire for delicious food is even stronger. Seeing food is closer than seeing relatives! The consequences can be imagined! It's better to participate in the yoga fasting method. Although you will not eat for a day or two, the effect is much better. After persisting for a few times, you will not only lose weight, but also detoxify the body and mind, and cultivate good eating habits. The usual hatha yoga practice seems peaceful and slow, but the amount of exercise is actually not small. If you practice Ashtanga or high-temperature yoga, the amount of exercise will be even greater.

The fatter people are, the more difficult they are to exercise, the less they like to exercise. Among all the exercises, yoga is the easiest to learn and practice, and it is also the easiest to adhere to. Only by persisting in exercise can we consume as much as possible Excess fat.

It can be seen that weight loss is reduced within a certain range. It is unrealistic for everyone to want to become a skinny beauty. We should not be overly obese, as long as we are well-proportioned and healthy. Practice yoga with me. (Internship Editor: Li Jianhong)
