Can postpartum yoga lose weight?
Using yoga to lose weight won't control your weight within a few weeks like taking diet pills, but the pills often rebound, which may bring various discomforts and diseases. Yoga takes a lot of time, but this method will not produce any side effects that will damage health, appearance, physiology and spirit. Even if you stop practicing yoga, as long as you still follow the principle of yoga diet, your weight will not return to obesity.
In the details of daily life, as long as we always pay attention to these basic laws, we can have a slim figure, especially a flat belly that everyone envies.
Eat quietly and carefully
Many people's stomachs are very sensitive, especially women, which leads to recurrent intestinal dysfunction and is always mistaken for colitis. The best preventive method is to have the correct posture when eating, chew slowly, have a quiet environment (such as turning off the TV) and chew fully.
The food should be cooked.
Nowadays, fashionable cooking is half-baked, which makes starch impossible to destroy. Starch sugar in most vegetables and grains accumulates in the large intestine to produce carbon dioxide, which can easily lead to bloating.
Drink more yogurt.
Yogurt and fermented milk can activate substances necessary for digestion and help improve the intestinal microbial system, thus preventing abdominal bulge.
