Can practicing yoga help you lose weight?

Do you all do yoga now? You also know the benefits of practicing yoga for the body. Many girls have beautiful and graceful figures because of practicing yoga. Can yoga really help you lose weight?

Legend has it that practicing yoga can help people lose weight quickly. Therefore, many people practice yoga with a utilitarian mentality, with the purpose of losing weight.

A research report from the American Fitness Council pointed out that general yoga training does not increase heart rate or burn calories as much as slow walking, and even action yoga is not as effective as light aerobic exercise. Experts say that yoga is a flexibility exercise that can not only improve the flexibility of the spine, but also stimulate the nervous and muscle systems, tighten excess fat in various parts of the body, make the body lines more beautiful, and is very effective in maintaining weight loss results and preventing rebound. However, practicing yoga cannot significantly reduce body weight. Practitioners can lose weight effectively only if they combine it with other weight loss exercises.

Reasonable and healthy eating and living habits plus gentle exercise of yoga postures! All of these together are the content of yoga, and all of this serves only one purpose, which is freedom of mind.
