The following are the benefits of yoga. Be patient. Yoga needs time to show its effect. After a few weeks, you will feel calmer and more focused than before. In a few months, the regeneration of organs and glands will begin.
First, the increase of vitality, the effect of yoga on the brain and glands.
Second, the appearance and mood are young: yoga reduces facial wrinkles and produces a natural "face-lifting" effect. This is mainly because of handstand. Our usual upright posture urges gravity to pull the muscles down. Over time, facial muscles are expelled from the phenomenon of collapse. Standing upside down for a few minutes every day, we can reverse the effect of gravity and make it a boost to our rejuvenation, so that facial muscles will not relax, it will reduce wrinkles and naturally flatten the skin. Yoga handstand posture can often restore the original color of white hair and delay the discovery of white hair. This is because handstand increases the blood flow to scalp hair follicles. This posture increases the elasticity of muscles, eliminates the pressure of blood vessels and nerves in muscles, and makes more blood flow to scalp muscles. In other words, hair follicles get more nutrition and produce more healthy hair.
Third, longevity: Yoga affects all the conditions of longevity: brain, glands, spine and internal organs.
Fourth, increase the ability of disease resistance: yoga exercises to strengthen the body and increase immune function. This enhanced resistance can cope with all kinds of serious diseases, from colds to cancer.
Fifth, improve vision and hearing: Normal vision and hearing mainly depend on good blood circulation and nerve transmission in eyes and ears. The nerves and blood vessels that supply the eyes and ears must pass through the neck. With the increase of age, the neck loses its elasticity like other parts of the spine, and nerves and blood vessels may encounter stagnation when passing through the neck. This change hinders the nerve and blood supply of eyes and ears, thus affecting their operation. Yoga posture and yoga neck movement can improve the neck condition, and then strengthen vision and hearing.
Sixth, the improvement of mental mood: Because yoga has the effect of rejuvenating the glandular nervous system, including the brain, mental mood will naturally show a positive state. It makes you more confident, enthusiastic and optimistic. Daily life will also become more creative.
The harm caused by practicing yoga is often due to incorrect practice methods and learning mentality, which can easily lead to dizziness, nausea, poor breathing, limb pain, joint wear and other symptoms, so we should pay attention to the following points:
:
1: The purpose of yoga is not to challenge yourself.
Many people don't know the purpose of practicing yoga. There are many postures in practicing yoga, some of which are difficult for many people to do. Because everyone's physical foundation is different, if there is no exercise process, it is difficult to do it at once. And it will do harm to the body. Generally speaking, a difficult posture requires high demands on all aspects of the body and often requires long-term stretching or support. For some people with insufficient muscle strength and flexibility, it is easy to cause tendon injury and make joints unstable.
Generally speaking, practicing yoga should be based on the premise that the body can bear it. If you feel pain during the exercise, you should immediately reset and rest.
People who are too thin can't practice yoga.
Yoga itself is a sport that requires muscle strength. For thin women, thin muscles are easy to strain. On the contrary, doctors advise some women who are too thin to do yoga after some basic strength training.
So practicing yoga is not the best choice to lose weight, especially for people who are already in the normal range, but it is still helpful for obese people ~
Losing weight mainly depends on consuming calories, and the most effective means of losing weight are scientific diet control and effective exercise. Therefore, unless it is some special yoga practice such as bikram yoga, it is difficult to lose weight in a short time by practicing yoga. Many people don't lose much weight after practicing yoga, but their body composition structure is better than before, which is the ultimate goal of yoga to lose weight.
3. Many people are not suitable for practicing difficult movements.
note:
Patients with hypertension and heart disease: not suitable for handstand and wheeled movements.
When doing handstand and wheeled movements, blood will flow backwards, which will easily lead to insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain, ischemia and shock.
Protrusion of intervertebral disc and spondylolisthesis: not suitable for forward movement such as Japanese worship and wide-angle bending.
"Japanese worship" is one of the most basic movements of yoga. Practitioners must bend down. At this time, people with spondylolisthesis may cause the spine to slip again because of this action. Disc herniation may also cause more serious nerve compression in the lower limbs because of careless bending.
Osteoporosis: not suitable for hoeing.
Some yoga moves must support the weight of the body with limbs such as hands or feet. If there is osteoporosis, it is easy to fracture. Hoe exercise is a taboo exercise for osteoporosis patients.
In addition, if you have joint pain or tendon inflammation after practicing yoga every time, it may not be soft enough to do difficult yoga moves. Yoga, an oriental culture with a long history, originated in ancient India, but prevailed in Europe and America, becoming the darling of many famous movie stars, politicians and pop music circles. They all regard yoga as a good way to keep healthy, lose weight and reduce stress. Like American singer Madonna, she practices yoga to make her body as soft as a girl. The Queen of England is obsessed with yoga. Although she is over 500 years old, her charm still exists. Many people in the entertainment circle around the world are also obsessed with yoga.
First: Yoga can improve the body.
Yoga can correct spinal deformation caused by daily fatigue or poor sitting posture, improve bad posture, enhance self-confidence, stretch muscle system, make human body elegant, lose weight, enhance self-healing ability, and prevent migraine, insomnia, constipation, gastrointestinal diseases, arthritis and other diseases.
Second: Yoga can relieve stress and nourish the heart for us.
Yoga can help us improve our attention, relieve tension, relieve depression, eliminate psychological barriers and restore inner peace and tranquility. Make people's mentality healthy and good.
Third: Yoga can recuperate beauty.
Yoga can massage internal organs by pushing, pulling, twisting, squeezing, stretching and other postures, strengthen physiological function, regulate endocrine, make human metabolism better, delay aging and keep youthful and beautiful appearance forever.
Of course, any excessive or incorrect exercise will lead to physical injury or other negative effects, so it is recommended to learn from a regular yoga instructor and do it in moderation.
