In today's society carrying excess weight is becoming the normal rather than the exception, as being too skinny also causes problems like anorexia. The world is changing, peoples diet are mostly processed, fatty foods and contains high calories, chemicals and unhealthy fats. Children prefer going on the internet playing games, instead of playing with their friends outside, which today is hard to do because of Covid-19 and social distancing.
Yoga is a discipline designed to make the body strong and flexible and enhance the overall health of the digestive system as well as the hormonal and circulatory systems, as this also helps women who are pregnant. It also assists us in controlling mental stress and achieving peace of mind. Yoga has strong benefits which will see you becoming more happy with yourself and be more comfortable with who you are, all aspects which will lead to emotional stability. This mental component is often neglected in a physical approach to weight loss, but it is critical and should not be overlooked, as mental health is also important. Comfort food is a frequent problem for people who yo-yo diet(rapidly lose and gain weight) and the ability to be happy with your health and who you are reduces the need for this.
Yoga is based on controlling your breathing which is a method for enhancing our oxygen intake and blood flow. This allows oxygen to travel to our fat cells in the body and assist in their processing. One needs to ask, given the benefits, why more people don't practice Yoga? Many people think of Yoga as a passive discipline - something for hippies - not them. It is a shame, as Yoga improves the physical body as well as our mental health. While it is practiced by a great many people in Eastern Populations only a small number of the population has clicked on to the many benefits.
Yoga considers all the aspects that contribute to obesity - not just the physical but also the mental reasons behind them. Yoga is not only relaxing but it does bring the body back towards it's ideal weight and at the same time enhances strength, flexibility and stamina. Yoga helps us to end up slim, agile and efficient in everything they do and what's more it is suitable for people of all ages.
A more active form of Yoga, Kundalini, was introduced in 1969 by Yogi Bhajan. It is a more active form of Yoga combining different methods of breathing, meditation and movement to compensate for the fact that the American population has been conditioned to see exercise as sweating a lot to lose water weight.
Yoga is used to resist the urge of snacking between meals, as the techniques learned can be used to suppress impulses such as I am hungry and need to have an unhealthy snack before having a main meal. It is not just a method of losing weight, it is actually a method which restores a natural balance to our body and moves us towards our natural state. This has an interesting consequence with weight, as if we are overweight then yes, regular Yoga will cause us to lose weight. However if we are at our ideal weight we will not drop weight, and if we weigh too little we will gain weight until we are at our natural size.
