Upright forward flexion yoga protects your stomach

I still remember at this time last year, a colleague had a stomach pain while at work. As a result, a big boy was in so much pain that he couldn't stand up. Finally, our boss personally carried him to the hospital. Upon examination, it was found that it was a gastric perforation. Now I still have a lingering fear when I think about it, and I also give us a piece of advice to pay attention to protecting our stomachs in ordinary times. Not only in terms of diet to special care for their own stomach, but also with some exercise to help stomach digestion function. Let Tianyue International Yoga Academy's professional instructors teach us to do a straight forward bending style, which can help gastrointestinal motility, thus promoting the digestive function of the human body.

Upright Forward Yoga requires the body to remain upright, legs slightly open, toes straight forward, inhaling. Then exhale, bending your upper body forward, palms under your feet, face forward, hips protruding upward, back straight, and hold this position for five breaths. Finally inhale, stretch your upper body slightly, exhale, bend your elbows, bend your body downward again, extend your face deeply between your legs, and breathe five times.

This set of movements first stretches the human body's gastrointestinal tract and then tightens the body's internal organs, which can promote digestion. At the same time, when practicing this movement, you need to pay attention to not bend your knees or lift your head to make your body feel stretched from your abdomen to the depths of your throat. If you have eaten too much dinner and don't want to do too much exercise, you can practice this movement half an hour after a meal. The professional coach of Tianyue International Yoga Academy also reminded that if the practitioner is a beginner or has poor body flexibility, your palms must not touch the ground, or you can practice with both hands holding your ankles. In addition, this action also has the effect of thin legs, making your legs straight and slender.

The body is the capital of revolution, so it is very necessary to practice upright forward flexion yoga every day. When we protect our health, we can devote more time and energy to work and achieve results. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
