Yoga can help women get rid of the "hmm" moan

Indigestion, flatulence, chronic constipation...these are common problems in modern people's lives. It doesn’t matter, yoga can help with these dilemmas.

We know that yoga can help relieve back pain, relieve stress, increase oxygen uptake, and improve mental health; but did you know that practicing yoga poses can also help improve the function of our digestive system? Many yoga poses help cleanse the digestive tract and improve digestive function. If you feel bloated, bloated, or have indigestion after a meal, here are 5 poses to help improve digestion:

1. Pavanamuktasana

If you have slow digestion, this pose will be very helpful for you. Do this movement slowly, making sure to synchronize it with your breathing; pull your knees toward your chest as you exhale, and release them as you inhale. It is recommended to practice before bedtime.

2. Paschimottasana

People know this move as a great stretch for your back, but did you know that with a few added gadgets, it can also work for your digestive system? Place a bolster or cushion between your thighs and rest your belly on it to create space for massaging your digestive tract. Every time you take a deep breath, the pillow or cushion will create a certain amount of pressure on your abdomen; and when you exhale you will release this pressure; you can practice this several times and you will feel comfortable after a while.

3. Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half Spinal Twist)

Twists in general are good for digestion, and the Half Spinal Twist is no exception, helping to cleanse the digestive system. As you twist, blood flow to the digestive organs is reduced, and as you release, new blood is injected into the digestive organs - just like wringing out a piece of clothing, thereby encouraging toxins to be expelled from the body.

4. Mayurasana

This pose is quite difficult and may be hard for beginners to do. During the practice, you need to use your arms to balance the center of gravity of your body, which will bring a certain amount of pressure to the digestive organs, which will temporarily cut off the blood supply to the digestive organs; and when you complete the pose, a large amount of fresh oxygen-rich blood will flow into the digestive organs, helping to improve the function of the digestive tract. This compression will also help move any stuck food.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau once became popular on social media because of an old photo of him doing yoga peacock pose, and was sought after and praised by countless netizens. Even he can do it!

5. Savasana

Corpse pose is the ultimate healing pose. When you rest, you are connected to your parasympathetic nervous system. When you lie still, you allow all the tension and stress to melt away, creating a healing environment for your body. Your blood begins to flow from your extremities to your digestive organs, your heart rate begins to slow, and your breathing deepens further. All of this will enhance oxygenation of the digestive organs and create an ideal environment for cleansing and healing of the digestive tract.
