By James Spann


Many people today are faced with weight issues. As a result of this problem, many fad diets are circulating every year. The problem with that is that diet alone is not the solution. Instead, it requires exercise, and yoga and weight loss go hand-in-hand when combined with a healthy and wholesome diet.

The role of yoga in weight loss cannot be compared to any other form of exercise. Yoga exercises involve a gradual shedding of extra pounds, while toning muscles. Such exercise is easy on the body, without excessive stress that is involved in aerobic forms that are hard on the means and other parts of the body.

No one wakes up 10 pounds heavier. Gaining extra pounds takes time to do. While an ounce here and there adds up, before people notice it it could get out of hand. That said, shedding those extra pounds takes time, even more time than it took to put it on. Therefore, one has to consider serious lifestyle changes in order to achieve success in their goals regarding their health and appearance.

One of the biggest problems for people with regards to gaining weight is that they consume an overabundance of calories. More than that, those calories come from junk food. The solution to that is easy, if someone puts their mind to it. Begin with shopping smart at the grocery store and start cooking at home. Prepackaged foods come with a lot of packaged problems because they contain far too many calories in comparison to any home cooked meal would.

Moreover, such foods are loaded with preservatives in order for them to keep longer on a shelf or in a fridge or freezer. If that's not all, they are also loaded with large amounts of sugar and salt or sodium which are very harmful to one's health. It is such foods that are directly responsible for many chronic diseases. Combine those foods with a sedentary lifestyle, and it is a recipe for disaster.

Changing one's way of life is vital to longevity and better quality of life. Those who eat right will look better and feel better. Combined with yoga, they will experience far greater results. Moreover, anyone of any age can partake in this form of exercise, whether they are physically fit, or even challenged in some respects.

When one uses their own body weight, they get far greater results with regards to toning muscles and shedding extra pounds. You also involves lots of stretching, which is really important for good health. This is especially true for more mature people who suffer from aching joints and pains in various areas or even throughout the entire body.

Since this age old form of exercise and meditation involves slow movement, it's good for everyone, even those who are aching and completely out of shape. Agility is not required and one starts to feel the positive effects almost from the get-go. Within weeks, they will experience many of its benefits, which will continue to grow with more passing time.

One of the best ways to shed extra pounds is to do so in a smart and effective way that does it gradually. Basically, it is the reverse of how one puts it on because it does get put on gradually. One also gets to experience the different levels of yoga, at one's own pace. Slowly, a beginner will be able to do more difficult positions that will bring on even more positive effects.

In addition to the above benefits, the individual will also become stronger and more flexible while combating stress. Therefore, they'll also feel better on the mental level. However, to really shed those extra pounds, it's best to include some form of aerobic exercise but easy on the body, such as walking. This is necessary because it raises one's heart rate, an important part of shedding pounds.

In the end, one will feel revived because they will also be sleeping better due to the relief of stress. One's posture will also improve as one gets more in tune with their own body and the right breathing exercises. In order to lose weight with yoga, one might opt for more vigorous styles, and there are lots to choose from.
