It is time, at last, time to speak about weight management, and the truth is this. Weight loss is a journey, one that everyone is willing to partake but not everyone is ready to pay the price. Statistics have proven time and again that 25% of adults between the age of 20 to 60 are struggling with weight management. What does it take to cut extra weight and achieve your desired shape? Well, today's your day, I am going to discuss what you need to do in the following paragraphs.
I know this journey can be quite
frustrating and requires a mountain of patience. I have finally figured out
what it takes to get your body in shape without much of a fuss. Yoga and
Meditation is the new paradigm that you need to pay keen interest on. Let's get
to the root cause to understand what causes weight gain.
Do you understand that stress can cause
weight gain? Research shows that psychological effects of stress increase
the production of Catabolic stress hormones,these stress hormones in turn increase insulin production.
This process quickly changes the body composition by increasing body fat
production and a decrease in skeletal weight (Bone weight), a condition
commonly referred to as hormonal obesity. This explains why you could be eating
a perfectly balanced diet alongside a regular exercising schedule but still
gain weight.
Yoga and meditation play a huge
role in reducing stress levels, a decrease in stress levels indicates an
increase in stress hormones i.e. cortisol. This is significantly essential for
weight loss because less stress means lower insulin production hence less fat
storage (decreased body weight).
Yoga is an effective weight loss
technique that helps burn a lot of calories. Lipids/Fats are more calories
based than proteins and carbohydrates hence require a lot of oxygen to be
burnt. Yoga breathing exercises create a new pattern in breathing by increasing
the habitual breathing volume. An increase in breathing volume provides more
oxygen to oxidize/burn the fats/Lipids in your body. This is exactly why the
regular practice of yoga and meditation promotes fast and efficient weight
loss.
Also, Yoga and meditation improve
your general well being, boosts your mood, and ultimately drives stress out of
your life. Zero stress means containment of weight gain.
Homework.
If you’ve been struggling with
weight management, it is time to put yoga and Meditation into consideration. I
highly recommend regular indulgence in Yoga at least five times a week first
thing in the morning as a means to reduce stress and kick off your day with the
correct mindset and energy. Iron Yoga and Meditation will guide and equip you
with proper guidelines/exercises to guide you in the weight management journey.
