Top 10 negative effects of hot yoga!

Nowadays, hot yoga (high-temperature yoga) is constantly being popular in major cities, and commercial advocates advocate the various good functions of "hot yoga" from different publicity perspectives. Then let's see if it's really what we say.

1. Advocates of hot yoga say that the negative effects are "zero";

First of all, this statement itself is a false view and unscientific. We know that in this world, there is nothing that has "zero" negative effects. The existence of anything is an essential phenomenon divided into two, and there is no absolute value.

2. Hot yoga needs to be practiced in temperatures between 38 and 40 degrees

We all know with a little knowledge that the human body cannot endure for a long time in a high temperature environment that exceeds its own, and it is easy to produce phenomena such as slow consciousness and anxiety. my country's labor department stipulates that when the temperature exceeds the body temperature, the employer must reasonably arrange for personnel to rest. Scientific experts have once said that when people are exposed to high temperatures, their brains are prone to dementia and other diseases; physicians warn that when the temperature exceeds the body's core temperature of 98. 6 degrees Fahrenheit {about 39. Exercise in an environment of 3 degrees Celsius} is dangerous. In addition, we can understand from the map of the earth that any area near the equator of the hot earth is basically a smart poverty area.

3. Advocates of hot yoga believe that the purpose of hot yoga is to restore the temperature environment in yoga areas in India

The argument for this statement has no scientific legitimacy. We can know that at present, any artificial environment cannot replace the natural environment. The natural environment contains various functions. If the hot yoga studio can replace or restore it, there will be no other effect except temperature! In India, among the vast majority of yoga practitioners, hot yoga is a minority. If you restore the environment for yoga practice, it would be best to use nature. For example, the outdoor yoga environment currently carried out is a good example.

4. Advocates quote the founder of Hot Yoga: In high-temperature smelting, steel can be bent at will after smelting.

This is general common sense, and we all know it. But what practitioners don't know is why steel can bend in a high temperature environment. The reason is that the physical and chemical action of high temperature changes the original internal structure of steel. The heat energy of fire is a destructive effect. Steel can only go through this kind of internal structure first. After the destruction of the internal structure, multiple processing processes must be carried out to transform the steel into the role we need. Another example is that a bamboo piece can bend at the temperature of fire, but the structure itself is destroyed. Our human body is not as obedient as steel or bamboo; it is an instinctive reaction, and the destructive effect brought by it in a high temperature environment is even stronger.

5. Hot yoga's sweating detoxification theory.

The high temperature environment accelerates people's metabolism, which in itself is a rapid consumption; detoxification through the body's sweating only has a very small effect, and the important way to detoxification lies in the two important ways of "relaxing bowel and diuretic". In addition, partial detoxification can also be achieved through adjustment of breathing and diet structure. Dehydration is common when practicing "hot yoga" or doing any exercise in very hot environments. Although it can be replenished by drinking water, medical knowledge reminds us that when a person needs to drink more water due to dehydration, the body itself is already damaged. The laws of sweating are different; for example, sweating similar to yoga body exercises or other sports is an active physical exercise, which conforms to the laws of body sweating. It is the body's exercise that causes the internal heat generated by the body to sweat outwards, spread; is good for your health. Sweating at high temperatures is passive and violates the law of sweating the body. Heat energy is induced from the outside to the inside. Exercise in such a high temperature environment will cause passive fatigue and loss of the body, which is very beneficial to the body.

6. Hot yoga to lose weight.

It is true that some weight loss effects can be achieved through hot yoga, but this effect is rapid, and the rapid development often brings bad effects. Excessive consumption of the body's heat energy is rapid consumption. We know that the human body's consumption has its own regularity. The result of rapid artificial results is that it will also bring sequelae to the human body that accelerates the aging of human organs and induces diseases.

7. Light wave heat energy in the hot yoga room.

We all know that the heat energy of our human body is a kind of infrared light wave, which is a function that can regulate itself and can be adjusted and changed in four seasons. After artificial high temperature, this function of our human body itself often declines rapidly. The reason why diseases in modern people increase is that the effects of various man-made environments have reduced our contact with the natural environment, weakened the correspondence between man and nature, and weakened our own antibodies. In addition, there is a protective layer on the surface of our body's skin. High temperature environments can easily damage this layer, causing great damage to the skin and resistance of the body.

8. The air quality of the hot yoga room.

The primary emphasis of yoga is the importance of breathing. Everyone hugs in a room heated at high temperatures. The carbon dioxide exhaled by everyone is glued in the air. Even with ventilation equipment, it is difficult to ensure the quality of the air. Moreover, the air quality in various cities is now polluted by various industries; all the things emitted by the body are integrated with the air, adding bad effects to the high-temperature environment. We know that bacteria and other diseases are prone to breeding in high temperatures, such as the deterioration of food at high temperatures. Another important thing to pay attention to is whether there are infectious disease sources among the practitioners.

9. Advocates of hot yoga say it is a branch of Hatha yoga.

We can learn from Indian yoga literature that Hada Yoga asana is a branch of the core school of yoga. Its own practice is not the mainstream of yoga. It can be regarded as an ordinary fitness exercise. For practitioners of Hada Yoga, its connotation still emphasizes harmony with the natural environment. Hot yoga is precisely an environment that is far away from what yoga calls harmony with nature and seals people in a high temperature environment. Whether it has a good effect can be seen.

10. Advocates of hot yoga say that practicing in a high temperature environment can increase the softness of the body.

Yes, it can indeed be increased, but this increase belongs to the purpose of physical harmony with nature that deviates from the original meaning of yoga. When practicing "hot yoga", under the catalytic effect of high temperature, passive and excessive stretching can temporarily work, but back in life, it is often difficult to maintain harmony with our daily life, resulting in direct wear and tear of various joints in the body.

May our yoga enthusiasts please think rationally when following the trend of health. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
