The benefits of women practicing yoga
1, regulating nervous system
Yoga is a relaxing exercise in a quiet environment. When practicing yoga, people's whole body can be adjusted to the best relaxation state, and the central nervous system that controls the brain will also be relaxed, thus effectively relieving stress. Long-term adherence to yoga can also adjust the unstable nervous system to a normal state.
2. Regulate endocrine system
Because the ovarian function of menopausal women is weakening day by day, the secretion of estrogen will be less and less, and yoga can enhance physical fitness, delay aging, help women regulate endocrine, and relieve menopausal hot flashes, sweating, insomnia and other symptoms.
Step 3 strengthen the respiratory system
Contact yoga pays attention to the coordination of breathing and movement. With each movement, the gas in the body is constantly exhaled and refreshed, further increasing the vital capacity and enhancing the function of the respiratory system.
4. Nursing the digestive system
Yoga can promote the blood circulation of the body, and also promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, thus enhancing the digestive function of the stomach, which has a significant effect on preventing and treating constipation and other menopausal symptoms.
5, delay menopause
Because practicing yoga has the function of regulating endocrine, it also has a certain effect on delaying menopause.
Menopausal women often feel bad spirit, loss of appetite, decreased energy and physical strength, memory loss and osteoporosis; Renal function declined sharply, and the ovaries basically atrophied. These can be improved by yoga.
Yoga can not only exercise muscles, but also regulate autonomic nerves and endocrine. Middle-aged and elderly women practicing yoga is helpful to relieve menopausal symptoms, and will not produce side effects such as heart disease, stroke and breast cancer caused by hormone therapy.
Therefore, yoga can delay menopause, and continuing to practice yoga during menopause can also play a therapeutic role.

There are also taboos in practicing yoga
1, coagulopathy
People with blood clots should avoid practicing yoga. Yoga requires posture and limb stretching and twisting, which may lead to decreased peripheral blood flow and more likely to lead to serious blood coagulation and cardiovascular diseases.
2. High intraocular pressure and high myopia
It is not recommended to do handstand. Bending forward or standing upside down will increase intraocular pressure, so it is not recommended for people with high intraocular pressure and high myopia to practice yoga.
3. Epilepsy and cerebral cortex injury
Many yoga moves involve stretching the neck. If there is epilepsy or cerebral cortex injury, stretching the neck back and forth may induce seizures.
4. Patients with osteoporosis
You must be very careful when practicing yoga, because some yoga moves must support the weight of your body with your hands and feet. If you have this symptom, it is likely that your muscle strength is not well trained, which leads to an accidental fracture during support.
It is best to have an empty stomach before yoga practice, but if you feel hungry, it doesn't matter to eat some fruit or drink a glass of milk, especially for practitioners with hypoglycemia, who need to add a little sugar before practice. You'd better wait for 30 minutes before eating after practice.
