If you have food in your stomach, you will feel heavy when you practice and you can't twist your body completely.

Because when doing exercises, food will still move in the stomach with the body, which is not good for health. Moreover, yoga not only acts on the body, but also acts on energy. If there is food in the stomach, energy cannot reach every part of the body. Most of the energy will flow to the digestive system to digest food, and practice is useless.

So the best time for yoga practice is to practice on an empty stomach in the morning. If you eat plenty of food, you should practice at least three to four hours apart. And you have to wait half an hour to eat after practice.

Extended data

Food will have many effects on the body. Yoga divides food into three categories:

(1), inert food

All foods that are not vegetables and fruits, and foods that have been cooked many times, will make people feel lazy.

(2), denatured food

Overcooked or seasoned food will change the natural taste of food. It will make people overexcited, accelerate their thinking and make their bodies fidgety.

(3) Delicious food

Natural foods, that is, foods that are not overcooked or seasoned too much, such as salads, fruits, vegetables, milk, butter and honey, make people feel relaxed and easy to digest. After eating, they will feel energetic and relaxed. Yoga practitioners should eat more pleasant food.
