YOGA AGAINST OBESITY
The percentage of obese population levels have reached “epidemic” in the Western world, and many are desperate to find a “formula” that helps in reducing weight.
It said that there is no “magic pill.” Simply, the body requires a certain amount of calories for their activity, and which are not consumed, are stored. So, get fat by eating more than needed.
Food requirements vary from person to person depending on the activities of each. What you should know is that physical activity is good and desirable to all.
There are other reasons of a hormone, but the most common is that they get fat because we become more sedentary and / or eat more or unsuitable food.
THE DISCOVERY
Every day there are more who find the practice of yoga helps to control and even reduce weight and improve health. Some simply practicing a style of hatha-yoga (postures), but those are amazing results are those that incorporate more elements to his life of yoga, a vegetarian diet that limits food consumption of animal origin and practices of meditation and breathing.
Some studies have noted that the practice of hatha yoga can burn as many calories as a gentle walk, similar to the burnt up in a very intense aerobics class. This difference is in the style of hatha yoga you practice, ranging from the most relaxing and up styles such as static or power vinyasa yoga, which include lots of movement and the use of strength and balance. Many are interested in yoga just for trying a new way to lose weight, and eventually taking advantage of all the other benefits it can bring to your life.
If in addition to this, we incorporate a yogic diet, the results may be more rapid and remarkable: the yoga teaches us to choose foods of plant origin. These usually contain less fat, are high in micronutrients that fight disease and natural degeneration as fresh and natural food choices, avoiding Preservatives, sugars and other substances the body actually needed or not in the amounts most people consume (such as in the case of salt and sugar).
The practice of breathing exercises will give us greater oxygenation of the whole body, increased lung capacity, and better overall functioning of the lungs and the muscles of the rib cage. Oxygen is the “fuel” the brain, and this practice will help reduce feelings of “tiredness” and “fatigue” that occurs in many who suffer from obesity.
Meditation will help to simply feel better and calmer, to combat stress, and feel more positive about ourselves and our appearance and physical condition. Yoga teaches us not to harm others or ourselves, hence the weight loss process should not be traumatic or violent by strict diets or exercise that did not really enjoy.
Let us avoid the “self-imposed torture.” It should be a gradual process of adapting to a healthier life than just let our bodies to adjust to their proper operating levels. Modern science confirms this: Medical studies show that most people who lose weight dramatically recover it again, while those who do tend gradually to maintain your new weight.
A healthy mind in a sound body: This familiar phrase is perhaps the best sets out the principles and goals of yoga. Her practice leads us to live a full life, balanced, enjoying the general welfare of a healthy body, in harmony with others, with nature and spiritual peace.
