Mindful Yoga

Yoga has always been practiced to establish a mental and physical connection. That is the idea that the Buddhists had many years ago. Even then, it was obvious that a person is healthier, more aware, and able to function at a higher level when the mind and body are in harmony.

Although there are faster ways to lose weight, yoga can still aid in weight loss. Yoga does not have the same calorie expenditure as aerobic exercise. In comparison to an hour of walking, an hour of yoga will result in you burning about 150 calories. 

Even though yoga offers a beneficial workout, there are other factors involved in weight loss besides calorie burning. Yet another, more subdued influence exists. Yoga heightens consciousness of our bodies and the food we eat to nourish them. If all you eat is burgers and chips, your improved mind-body connection will make you more aware of the dangers of certain foods and encourage you to reach for more positive, life-affirming options. Simply put, toxic food loses its appeal. As a result, most people will choose a salad over a burger.

The body's first line of defense against inflammation and diseases, from the flu to cancer, is a healthy immune system. Your immune system must be in balance to work properly. In order to defend the body against invaders like germs and other impurities, cells, organs, and tissues work together as an army. The immune system creates antibodies to help the body get rid of toxins and heal infections.
