Chapter 4-—Ways in Which Yoga Promotes Weight Loss

Yoga is a prehistoric practice that has always focused on the benefits it brings to those who practice it. It would most certainly be a dogmatic approach to consider it only to be based on spiritual elevation and nothing more. Yoga poses are tools that help the body, mind and soul. They can be practiced as need based on the individual’s unique requirements. Today’s western society suffers from issues like obesity, and for that it needs many long-term healthy approaches to weight loss.

One of the first approaches that address underlying causes is to consume a healthy diet with nutrient-rich organic foods. Another approach would use the prehistoric science of yoga. A combination of these can bring about amazing results.

•Stimulate the crucial force of the liver

Our liver has many important functions. It is a powerful cleanser and detoxifier. It processes all kinds of fats and purifies the blood. If your liver is strong and healthy, it can eliminate bad fats and make the good fats work better for you.

The liver gives you much needed energy by storing glucose and stimulating the production of coenzyme Q10, which powers your muscles. Performing certain yoga poses helps you strengthen the vital force of your liver in more profound ways that will bring about optimal functionality.

Backends are notably the most ideal poses for the liver:

-Bhujangasana (cobra pose)

-Chakrasana (wheel poses)

-Dhanurasana (bow pose)

-Matsyendrasana (spinal twist)

•Activating the thyroid gland

The thyroid gland is responsible for secreting a certain metabolism regulating hormone. An important factor the determines whether our bodies have a high metabolism that burns plenty of fat is whether the gland is active or not. The majority of people who are susceptible to weight gain have a condition called hypothyroidism, with the term “hypo” meaning low. A number of yoga poses can help rectify the dysfunction.

-Matsyasana (fish pose

-Sarvangasana (shoulder stand)

•Creating the right pH balance – Alkaline

If your body has low pH levels (acidic), it will attempt to protect itself from the acidity by storing and using fat as a buffer. This can be extremely precarious because visceral fat (that found in the blood vesicles and organs) accumulates within the arteries and veins, constricting the passage for blood and obstructing blood vessel activity. The result of this is the heart overworking just to ensure blood circulation. If this prolongs, the heart will become exhaust and a heart attack may be imminent. The condition is called arteriosclerosis. For this reason, it is important for the body to maintain the right pH. The most suitable pH is in the range of 7.35. And the majority of people who suffer from overweight generally have an acidic pH.

The best yoga poses to improve alkalinity are:

-Janushirasana (head to knee posture)

-Paschimottanasana ( seated forward bend)

•Find the perfect balance between parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system

Overweight bodies normally experience a tremendous amount of stress. Their nervous systems are constantly under pressure from different lifestyle decisions. They are often seated under neon lighting or on their desks under the healing sun. They breathe in air-conditioned, stale air instead of air that’s clean and rich in oxygen.
