So it is best to practice yoga on an empty stomach in the morning. However, complete fasting is not mandatory, because generally speaking, the interval between exercise and dieting is one hour. However, if you eat plenty of food, you should practice for at least three to four hours.
Besides, you have to wait for half an hour or an hour to eat after practice, otherwise all your efforts will be in vain. Besides, you won't feel particularly hungry after practicing yoga, because yoga practice itself can replenish your body's energy through breathing, which is one of the reasons why yoga practice emphasizes breathing.
Matters needing attention after practicing yoga:
1, rest for 0.5- 1 hour before taking a bath. After yoga practice, the body feels very keen, so it is necessary to avoid the stimulation of hot and cold in a short time to ensure the orderly flow of energy in the body. At the same time, it can avoid excessive cleaning of oil caused by excessive expansion of pores, thus maintaining the natural protective layer of skin.
2. Mood fluctuation is not suitable for practicing yoga. Yoga is a kind of physical and mental exercise. If you are angry, anxious, nervous and tense, you'd better not practice yoga to avoid injury. Only when your muscles are soft can you practice yoga healthier and safer.
3. After several classes, I feel sore joints and tendons, which may not be suitable for practicing yoga. Some people are born with poor physical flexibility, and yoga is to train physical flexibility and muscle strength extension. If joint pain or tendon inflammation occurs after each yoga practice, it may be that the body is not flexible enough to do yoga.
4, after practicing yoga, it is not appropriate to squat immediately. If you feel tired after yoga, squat down or sit down. You think you can rest easily. In fact, this is a mistake. If you squat down and rest immediately after fitness yoga, it will hinder the blood return of lower limbs, affect blood circulation and deepen physical fatigue; In severe cases, gravity shock will occur.
5, after practicing yoga, it is not appropriate to eat cold drinks immediately. Yoga often makes people sweat, especially in summer. With the consumption of a lot of water, there is always a feeling of thirst after yoga, and water is urgently needed, mainly for young people. Most of them like to buy some cold drinks to quench their thirst.
6, after practicing yoga, it is not appropriate to eat immediately. In the process of yoga, especially intense yoga, the nerve center of yoga is in a state of high excitement. Under its influence, the parasympathetic nervous system, which manages the activities of internal organs, strengthens the inhibition of digestive system activities.
7. After practicing yoga, the body temperature should not drop immediately. In the process of yoga, blood vessels on the body surface dilate, body temperature rises, pores relax and perspiration increases. If you go into the air-conditioned room immediately after yoga or take a cold nap at the tuyere, or use a cold water punch to cool down, your skin will be tight and sweaty, causing physiological dysfunction such as body temperature regulation and decreased immune function, which will lead to diseases such as colds, diarrhea and asthma.
8. It is not advisable to smoke immediately after practicing yoga. Smoking after yoga, the air inhaled into the lungs mixed with a lot of smoke, on the one hand, not only reduces the oxygen content, but also is not conducive to paying off the "oxygen debt", and physical fatigue is difficult to eliminate; On the other hand, when the human body inhales this foggy air, it will affect the gas exchange in the alveoli of the human body, leading to chest tightness, asthma, dyspnea, dizziness and fatigue after yoga.
9. After practicing yoga, it is not advisable to eat a lot of sugar immediately. Some people feel comfortable eating sweets or sugar water after strenuous yoga, and think it is good to eat sweets after yoga. In fact, eating too much sweets after yoga will consume a lot of vitamin B 1 in the body, and people will feel tired and lose appetite, which will affect the recovery of physical strength. Therefore, after strenuous yoga, it is best to eat more foods containing vitamin B 1, such as vegetables, liver and eggs.
10, after practicing yoga, it is not advisable to drink alcohol immediately to relieve fatigue. After strenuous yoga, people's physical function will be at a higher level. At this time, drinking alcohol will make the body absorb alcohol faster and enter the blood, and the damage to organs such as liver and stomach will be greater than usual.
