Now, more and more people practice yoga. It is often said that you should not take a bath immediately after practicing yoga, and it is best to rest for half an hour. So when is a good time to take a bath? To this end, the reporter interviewed Niu Na, a yoga instructor at Aibin Women's Fitness Club.

Niu Na said that taking a bath just after practicing yoga will not only greatly reduce the practice effect, but also cause unnecessary harm to the body. At the end of exercise, the body is often in a state of extreme excitement. At this time, if you take a hot bath immediately, the blood vessels will expand rapidly, and the blood will flow back to the brain, increasing the pressure on the heart. And the stimulation of cold and hot will hurt the body. It is generally advocated that practitioners, especially those suffering from arthritis, should take a bath before practicing, and then rest for 20 minutes to half an hour, which can increase the sense of cleanliness and relaxation of the human body, raise the body temperature, reduce muscle tension, and help stretch the body and open various joints. People who practice after getting up in the morning don't have to take a shower before practicing.

In addition, yoga practitioners should also pay attention to diet problems. During yoga practice, the blood of the body is concentrated on local muscles or organs, which will affect the digestion and absorption of food. Therefore, attention should be paid to keeping an empty stomach 1 hour before and after practice. If you feel hungry before practice, you can drink a glass of milk or eat some liquid and digestible food. Rest for at least half an hour after practice before eating. It is most suitable to eat fruits and vegetables.

What needs to be reminded to practitioners is not to force every movement to be fully extended to the extent of the coach, but to be based on their own limits or feel comfortable.
