Squat is a kind of yoga posture, I'm afraid you don't know it. In yoga poses, squat is the trump card for practicing thighs, so why is it the trump card? What is the function and efficacy of squat yoga pose? Let's take a closer look with me.

The Function and Efficacy of Squat Yoga

1, strong joint bones

Squatting can enhance the range of motion of waist, hip, knee and ankle, enhance the flexibility of knee joint and delay the aging of joint. If the joints are not active, the bones will become fragile, and calcium will be lost to the blood and accumulated in the kidneys and bladder, leading to dysuria and bacterial reproduction. Therefore, regular use and exercise of joints is the key to staying young forever.

2. Promote metabolism

Squat movement mainly relies on the flexion and extension of legs to support the body weight above the trunk.

When squatting, the weight of the body depresses the blood vessels in the leg muscles and accelerates the venous blood flow of the lower limbs to the heart. When the body gets up, it relieves the pressure of the body weight on the muscles of the lower limbs, and the arterial blood pumped by the heart quickly enters the lower limbs, so squat down, get up, and squat down again and again, like? Pump? The function of accelerating blood circulation and metabolism. Strengthen blood circulation, increase blood volume, and effectively improve myocardial blood supply and metabolism. The blood circulation is strengthened, the nutrition and oxygen supply of pancreas and other organs are fully improved, and the function of insulin-secreting cells returns to normal, which can effectively control diabetes.

Step 3 Enhance muscle strength

Doing squats often can enhance muscle strength, especially the muscle strength of lower limbs. The leg strength is enhanced, which can effectively prevent falling. When you walk, you will feel relaxed and full of energy. If human muscles are used moderately, they will be more developed, but if they are abandoned or overused, they will degenerate.

4. It has the effect of losing weight.

Squat can consume a lot of calories and can lose excess fat, especially the fat accumulated on the buttocks and thighs. In addition, when squatting, the abdomen is squeezed, which promotes the burning and decomposition of fat around abdominal organs, reduces the accumulation of fat, and also stimulates the digestion of food in the gastrointestinal tract and promotes the secretion of digestive enzymes.

5. Improve vascular function.

It can dilate arterioles and arterioles, reduce the peripheral resistance of the heart, improve the elasticity of arterioles and arterioles and effectively reduce blood pressure.

6. Delaying brain decline

If the legs are aging (mainly muscles, bones and joints), the brain will also age. After leg aging, people's activities are reduced, the chances of sensory acceptance of new information are reduced, the stimulation from the outside is reduced, and brain cells are no longer active, so people will become dementia. Squatting can strengthen the activities of the legs and strengthen the connection with the outside world, which can not only delay the decline of the brain, but also further increase the intelligence.

7. Reduce blood lipid density

Squat exercise can stimulate the meridian system, enhance the transport function of spleen meridian, promote the decomposition of atherosclerotic plaque on blood vessel wall, reduce blood viscosity, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein in blood, increase high-density lipoprotein, promote lipid metabolism, improve blood vessel elasticity and effectively prevent atherosclerosis, which is of great significance to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.
