Yoga Is Better Than Taking Up Diets For the long run

Yoga makes you aware about mindful eating!

Numerous studies have found that Yoga brings awareness. One starts getting mindful of their mind, body, and soul in all respects finding comfort in staying healthy and light. A few sessions into yoga can actually consciously bring about a change in a person to make them want to shift from unhealthy junk food to more natural and fresh food. They start becoming aware of when they are full, cut down on binge eating, and even opt for unprocessed/fresh food. After a good yoga session, almost everyone wants a calming herbal tea or bowl of fresh fruits or just plain water to drink rather than hogging on oily deep fried food.

Yoga trains you to fitness!

Yoga combines breathing techniques, physical movements, and mindfulness into practice. Focusing on the development of mindfulness, the flow of energy, muscle strength and improvising stamina – it qualifies as a complete workout. The vivid asanas constructed around several forms of Yoga like Ashtanga, Hatha, Vinyasa, etc are focused on strengthening muscles, improving body metabolism and burning calories too. It’s a multi-dimensional take on fitness that shows up with regular practice. While extensive dieting may show an instant weight loss due to a calorie deficit, yoga is actually a healthier process to aid weight loss by calorie burning and healthy eating.

Health is a choice with Yoga!

Diets aren’t always healthy for the body. The fact that you may be starving yourself for the perfect figure or cutting down on healthy eating patterns can affect your mental and physical health significantly. Moreover, diets can compromise on your nutritional needs leading to significant deficiencies in the future. Yoga, on the other hand, is an art that your body adapts to live through. The practice one conducts on the mat shows in their daily life. Yoga helps you be aware of what your body needs, helps you follow healthy eating patterns and transforms into a healthier version of you. 

Diets fade – Yoga doesn’t!

We all have followed some of the other diets sometime in our lives. There is a challenge to follow it, excitement in seeing the results and then we return back to our normal eating patterns in a few weeks or months. A diet fades after some time in showing its effect on our body or losing interest. And the result is we gain back that weight and return to our older selves. Yoga is better in all these respects. Yoga is a way of life that starts changing you from the time you first roll out your mat. Once you start to enjoy the spiritual, physical, emotional and mental transformation there is no looking back. The journey in itself is so beautiful that you begin to make choices for a healthier life and Yoga becomes a sacred zone that you come back to each day for that boost of energy, self-love, care, fitness, calmness, and infinity.

While diets may come and go, Yoga stays for a longer run to instil in you the best of health!
