Everyone who practices yoga knows that yoga has its specific concept of diet, so what? I will tell you what I will tell you below, for your reference only!

Yoga’s concept of diet

1. Satisfactory food

Healthy food, including fresh fruits and most vegetables, clean water, nuts, seeds, soy products, cereals, milk and milk products, honey, and Mild spices and moderate green tea etc. Satisfactory foods are healthy and provide all the protein, minerals, etc. that the body needs. Relatively speaking, vegetarians have stronger disease resistance, and pure food is helpful for asana practice, because the less meat they eat, the less stiff their bodies are. Yoga people believe that this can cultivate noble sentiments, make the body healthy, pure, relaxed and energetic, make the mind peaceful and happy, and be beneficial to the body and mind. This type of food creates a finer, sharper body and nervous system, achieving higher spirituality.

2. Denatured foods

Foods with a strong taste include strong-flavored vegetables and strong flavors such as sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, Salty raw materials, condiments and products, such as radish, pepper, onion, green onion, ginger, garlic, mustard, curry, soy sauce, chocolate, coffee, cocoa, cream, black tea, soda, etc. Moreover, all sexually pleasing foods will become denatured foods if they are added with a lot of spicy or other highly sexual condiments. Because denatured foods will damage the body and mind while providing calories. People's endocrine and nervous systems will be stimulated, often causing physical and mental restlessness, destroying physical and mental balance, consuming brain power and energy, and affecting the state of calm.

3. Inert food

Depressive food, including all meats, eggs, mushrooms, fungi, etc., as well as those that are stale, rotten or cooked Cooked foods, all canned foods, frozen, processed or preservative-containing foods, as well as alcoholic beverages, narcotic beverages, tobacco, drugs, etc. These are extremely unsuitable for yogis, because these substances can easily damage the body's disease-resistant system and have a certain inhibitory effect on the body's operation, causing the body to lose energy, destroying the body system and being harmful to the mind. It not only disturbs the body and mind Peace can also make people irritable and jealous, causing laziness, disease and mental dullness.

5 dietary precautions for yoga

1. Do not practice yoga hungry in the morning

For those who want to use yoga to lose weight, it is best to do it on an empty stomach in the morning Practicing yoga is undoubtedly the best choice. Because the energy consumed by practicing yoga on an empty stomach comes from fat, not muscle, and if you practice yoga after a meal, the energy consumed often comes from the carbohydrates you just eaten. The body must be allowed to obtain energy from stored fat in order to maximize fat loss.

Practicing yoga in the morning can also increase the metabolic rate of the day. Generally, it takes about 30 minutes. I usually like to practice 6 times of Sun Salutations in the morning, and then combine it with a few waist-slimming movements, such as triangles. Pose, Triangle Side Stretch Pose, etc. are enough.

However, it must be noted that fasting does not mean hungry. If you feel hungry, you can drink some liquid food such as milk and honey before practicing. Do not do any exercise when you are hungry, otherwise it will cause harm to the body. .

2. Adopt a low-carbohydrate diet or avoid eating meat within 10 days after menstruation

The best time for women to control their weight through food is within 10 days after menstruation, or avoid eating carbohydrates compound, or not eating meat, just choose one of the two.

The carbohydrates mentioned here are grains and sugars, excluding fresh fruits and vegetables, starchy foods*** sweet potatoes, peonies, and beans***, but you should still eat less starches. Meat does not need to include fish, shrimp and other seafood. At the same time, pay attention to protein supplements, because your body still needs energy and nutrients. Protein will keep you full for a long time and will not easily cause muscle loss, and protein can help break down fat.

In addition, I need to remind everyone that the time for doing this should not be too long, 10 days is enough, and you must persist to the end and complete it in one go. After all, using 10 days of control every month in exchange for the remaining 20 days of being able to do whatever you want and have a slim figure is already a good deal. At least I am very satisfied.

3. Drink a lot of water, 12-16 cups.

Usually the idea of ??drinking 8 glasses of water a day should be increased during the weight loss period. Try to drink as much as possible, instead of coffee, you can drink more green tea and oolong tea. Drinking more water helps your body eliminate toxins and can also help "melt" fat. Milk and soy milk cannot be considered water, but if you don’t drink enough 12-16 cups, they can barely make up the amount. At this time, you will feel that you need to go to the toilet a lot, which is also a way to force yourself to get up and move more.

4. Eat some food every 3 hours

As the saying goes, "eat less and eat more", 5 small meals a day instead of 3 large meals. This way you won't feel too hungry. Of course, you won't eat and drink too much at each meal, but try to keep it balanced. This is more difficult to do when working. You can bring more yogurt, milk, and fruit to eat *** Roasted unsalted soybeans are a good snack choice ***.

5. There is no need to blame yourself for the occasional indulgence in food and drink

Yoga is very particular about dialogue with the body. It teaches us to listen to the voice from the body and tells us what is happening physically and mentally. Joy and peace are the prerequisite for health and beauty. Therefore, when your weight loss plan is too harsh and your body asks you to have sex, you might as well indulge your appetite but not too frequently. You can have sex once a week at most, and there is no need to feel guilty about it. , as the saying goes, "Rest is for a better journey." As long as you know that today's indulgence is for tomorrow's persistence, you can enjoy the food!

5 dietary points of yoga

1. Chew carefully and swallow until you are eight times full. For example, take a mouthful of rice, chew it 20 times and then swallow it, then take another mouthful of tofu and repeat the above actions. This allows you to enjoy the unique taste of each food and is better for controlling your appetite.

2. Eat nuts and seeds in moderation, as they can provide the body with essential unsaturated fatty acids and protein. Because of its high caloric content, it is sufficient to consume 10 to 20 grams per day, otherwise it is easy to gain weight.

3. You should not eat more than 500 grams of fruit every day. Because fruits contain more than 8% sugar energy, which cannot be ignored. If you eat more than 250 grams of fruit, you should reduce the amount of staple food, otherwise you will easily gain weight. In addition, eating a lot of fruits will affect the meal intake and easily lead to insufficient protein intake.

4. It is not advisable to choose high-temperature frying when cooking and use as little oil as possible. Eating vegetables and fruits raw, cold, stir-fried and other methods can minimize nutrient loss and control calorie intake.

5. Protein is the foundation of life, and lack of it will lead to diseases. Soy protein with concentrated soy essence and whey protein extracted from milk are very suitable for vegetarian yogis. Hydrolyzed collagen is a product made from concentrated pig skin and then hydrolyzed and refined. It is not suitable for vegetarian yogis.
