It is recommended to drink two cups of warm water after each exercise, about 400 ml. Drinking green tea is not recommended. While drinking slowly, you can feel the depth and brand-new vitality of each part of your body, mind and perception. This has three advantages. First of all, you can sit quietly and relax for a while (at least 10 minutes) to enjoy, reflect on or savor the feeling of this kind of yoga practice (by the way, those who rush out of the yoga studio just after the yoga class know neither how to taste yoga nor how to live); Second, it helps to excrete toxins from the body faster with urine in yoga practice; Third, reducing hunger will reduce the chances of overeating and overeating in the future.
You will feel hungry after yoga, or you may not be hungry at all, or you were hungry before, but now you are not. These are normal and vary from person to person. You can judge slowly after drinking two glasses of water. Some yoga moves do stimulate digestion and the fire of digestion (called "Agni" in yoga), so it is normal to have hunger and appetite. Another situation is that yoga regulates secretory glands, so the illusion of hunger caused by secretion disorder disappears. On the other hand, I feel very satisfied and have no appetite, which means that my body gets the energy it needs from practice (especially through pranayama) and is nourished by prana. All three situations may happen when three students do the same exercise at the same time.
In either case, the main enemy of yogis' diet is "overeating", which is an absolute principle and suitable for any spiritual lifestyle. In most cases, when the body tells itself "enough, enough", it is the body that "asks for mercy". In fact, it is often overeating.
Overeating includes:
A) Eating impure food (non-vegetarian, too stimulating and stale food),
B) For the sake of appetite and greed, I eat all kinds of food for dinner, and I usually eat too many "recreational" and "recreational" snacks.
C) Eating too much of any food,
D) eating at inappropriate times. Generally speaking, after yoga practice (especially at night), you should eat light and digestible food.
But because everyone's age, physique, digestive ability and physical needs are very different, this is only a general principle. You must cultivate consciousness through yoga, so that you can "listen" to the information sent by your body and establish habits that suit you and are beneficial to your health. If you are a little "leisurely" after practicing, it is reasonable to drink water, sit for a while, change clothes, adjust your body and go out, and let this process last for 20 ~ 30 minutes until you can really sit down and start eating. Another thing is that you don't need to take a bath unless you really sweat so much that you still feel sticky after all this. Yoga suggests taking a bath in the morning and before practice, not at night or after practice. According to Huangdi Neijing, "You Mao Bath" is from 5: 00 to 7: 00 in the morning and afternoon, which is the most suitable time for bathing. If you really need to wash, wash the sweat quickly with warm water, and the time does not have to exceed one minute.
