Can Yoga Help in Fat Loss?
By Anita Clarkson
Yoga is indeed an amazing tool for fat loss as well as general well being. The use of yoga for balancing the mind and body are pretty well known to be recounted here. Before going into the details of how yoga can help in losing fat let us first be clear about the need for fat loss, because without proper motivation you may not be able to stick to a fat loss or weight loss program, whether it is yoga exercises or some other fat loss program.
Management of weight by the reduction of excess body fat has a vital role to play in our ability to maintain good health and fight disease. Researchers have repeatedly found a strong link between excess body fat and major physical problems like diabetes, cancer and heart disease. A majority of the American population is overweight and it has been reported by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey that every year three out of every four Americans die either from cancer or heart disease.
Yoga uses a number of different body postures that stimulate various organs in the body including the thyroid gland that regulates metabolism. A properly functioning thyroid gland helps the processes that convert food into energy. When food is converted into energy efficiently there is less accumulation of body fat. The yoga postures also improve and balance blood circulation in the body which makes the person healthier and more energetic. This helps to reduce calorie intake and start providing the necessary energy by burning the fat cells.
In addition to developing a physical and mental state of well being the yoga techniques can also aid in the loss of excess body fat. Yoga exercises help in improving your metabolism. More calories are burned when the metabolism in the body increases. This extra burning of calories aids fat loss. As yoga achieves fat loss through the balancing of the body processes the speed of fat loss can be a bit slow.
For long term benefits you must approach the whole yoga fat loss process gradually. You may be disappointed if you are expecting immediate and spectacular results. However, by combining the practice of yoga with another program designed to burn calories exclusively you can get excellent results. By doing this you will also ensure that any side effects of rapid weight loss are minimized. An added benefit of yoga is that it will also strengthen your immune system. In addition to fat loss your ability to focus and concentrate will improve and so also will your ability to handle life's stresses.
