Among
all the lifestyle diseases that plague modern society, Obesity is surely the
most dangerous. The presence of excess fat in the body not only degrades your
self-image but also offers an open invitation to all kinds of serious problems
ranging from Hypertension to Stroke.
In such
a troubling situation, can Yoga help you keep Obesity at bay and stay fit?
How Yoga combats Obesity
The
ancient discipline of Yoga is now popular than ever before. The regular practice
of Yoga has been proven to help you stay physically strong and mentally balanced,
thus allowing you to lead a contented and fulfilling life. Yogasanas when
combined with the healing power of Pranayamas and Mudras can guide you out of
the problem of Obesity and lead to a healthy life without the need for expensive equipment.
In short:
Yoga is the affordable and effective answer to Obesity!
Parts of Yoga
The
ideal Yoga session should consist of three sections:
1. Yogasana: These are postures which have
been handed down from generations of Yoga practitioners, students and Gurus. Asanas
increase muscular strength and flexibility while improving blood circulation.
Your muscles are compelled to burn calories and fat while receiving fresh
supply of oxygen and nutrients through the blood.
2. Pranayama: The practice of these breathing exercises
force your lungs to take up more air than it usually does, thus increasing
oxygen supply throughout the body. This leads to efficient metabolism of fat
while helping you to calm down and relax.
3. Mudra: It is a symbolic gesture made by using
the hands. According to eminent Yogic texts like the Gheranda Samhita, such ritualistic finger positions help you focus
and calm down. It creates the right mental ambience to undertake deep and
uninterrupted meditation.
Yoga for Obesity
1. Dhanurasana: This Asana focuses the body’s
weight on the abdominal muscles, thereby improving digestive function. This
pose is especially beneficial for maintaining the health of abdominal organs
like the liver, stomach and pancreas, which in turn helps in efficient
processing of fat cells. It tones the muscles in the hands and legs, improves
respiration and helps to burn fat. It is also known to moderate the secretion
of adrenal glands while stimulating the nervous system.
2. Surya Bhedana Pranayama: This particular breathing
exercise improves digestive efficiency, leading to faster metabolism of fat
content. It is also known to moderate appetite, thus reducing the urge to eat
more than necessary.
3. Yoga Mudra: These hand gestures help to evoke
an atmosphere of serenity and calm, which allows you to meditate and leave your
worries behind. While
Obesity is indeed a problem, obsessing over it will not help you in any way!
