Aging, relaxation and decline cannot be found in the yoga world
Remember the veteran American movie star Jane Fonda, who became famous around the world for teaching aerobic dance twenty years ago? Do you know what she is doing when she is over sixty years old? She stopped doing aerobics and practiced yoga instead. Why?
The footsteps of time have stopped
You may find it unbelievable, but a senior yoga teacher once said this: When you start learning yoga, your age stays at the beginning stage. Very attractive! It turns out that since ancient times, everyone's dream of being immortal can be achieved only through yoga!
Everyone knows that exercise can prolong life, but why can yoga resist the laws of nature and stop the aging and decline of the body? First, we must understand the causes of physical aging. In recent years, medical research has shown that human aging is closely related to excessive free radicals in the body. Dr. Harman from the United States found that when the body consumes more calories, the more free radicals it produces due to metabolism. Then the free radicals will continue to attack normal cells, eventually causing permanent damage. Gradually, the number of damaged cells will gradually increase, and the number of cells that cannot be repaired will gradually increase, leading to chronic diseases and significant aging in the body.
In addition, according to research by the Institute of Weight Science of TANITA Co., Ltd. in Japan, people with too much body fat are far more likely than the average person to suffer from various fatal aging diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, gout, knee injury, etc. It's easy to know whether your body fat is too high. Just divide your weight by the square of your height (calculated in meters) and the value you get can make a judgment. It is generally believed that a value exceeding 25 is considered to be overweight; but if a value exceeds 30, it is considered to be morbid obesity, which will seriously threaten health. In addition to the above-mentioned diseases, cancer may also be induced.
After reading these materials, you must be smart enough to discover the basic steps of anti-aging! Yes, use control of the calories in your diet to prevent free radicals from increasing, coupled with persistent exercise habits, prevent the accumulation of fat in your body, and kill the shocking physiological process of aging on both sides, so that the years will never leave your face and body! If you don't believe it, look at Taipei Mayor Ma Ying-jeou, who has long been using jogging and swimming habits to maintain his health. His handsome face is full of mature charm but does not appear to be old. This is the best example. Compared with people of the same age, people who exercise for a long time are in the best physical fitness and appearance.
Yoga equals youth and longevity
However, among many sports, why has yoga become a sport that is highly recommended by everyone, even experts and doctors? Because yoga is a gentle exercise that focuses on the whole body and balance, while general exercise focuses on the strength and explosive power of physical fitness. However, not everyone is suitable for general exercises such as jogging and playing. Instead, it may be due to the imbalance of exercise., causing body deviations in the long run. Moreover, yoga asanas and special breathing methods can allow the body, mind and spirit to reach a balanced state, which is a realm that cannot be achieved by other sports.
Yoga represents a kind of harmony in ancient Indian culture, which can maintain physical and mental stability through breathing regulation. As for the asana method, Indian practitioners at that time observed all things in nature to understand how animals adjusted their body functions to adapt to changes in the external environment and climate. Through deep, conscious breathing, and following the laws of all things in nature, the asana method was used to regulate the functions of the body, so that the body and mind could be balanced and the functions of the body organs could be strengthened. Of course, time could not leave a mark on you. This is eternal youth!
The most basic skill of yoga is "abdominal breathing." Deep breathing can help metabolize the body's old waste. Because a person's lungs can store about 5 liters of air, but most people breathe too lightly and only breathe 3 liters. The remaining 2 liters accumulate under the lungs, which over time will breed bacteria and lead to many diseases. The breathing method of yoga fully communicates the air in the body with the air outside the body, while also promoting metabolism. You know, the body's lower and lower metabolic rate is one of the main causes of aging! Yoga asana emphasizes the concept of body and mind integration and helps the body stretch and relax. Each soothing movement is combined with breathing training to massage different internal organs. It is important to breathe attentively, because controlling breathing can stretch your muscles and muscles properly and seek balance in your body. Yoga allows you to focus and gently move both inside and outside.
This is why more and more people feel the benefits of yoga and join the craze to practice yoga, looking forward to maintaining youth through yoga! The reason why yoga has become the most popular fitness and health exercise in Europe and the United States is because yoga can maintain the body and mind in a balanced state that activates aerobic activity, allowing people to maintain health and beautify the body between stretching their limbs and breathing. curve. According to estimates by the American "Yoga Journal", more than 6 million people in the United States are currently learning yoga, and 17 million people are interested in yoga, showing that more and more people have understood the benefits of yoga.
