Millions of Americans feel like they could stand to lose a few pounds, and many millions have tried but failed in attempts to do so. In fact, nearly every person in America who goes on a specialized diet to lose weight will put that weight back on plus some in the coming years.
Nearly all individuals who go on a specialized or promoted diet lose various amounts of weight only to put up to two thirds of the weight they lost back on within a year. And studies have shown that within five years nearly all persons who have gone on a specialized commercial diet regain all of the weight they lost during the diet and most often have added to their weight, making them heavier than they were even before they initiated their diet.
Your muscles will not only get bigger but the strength that you gain will be practical and evenly distributed because you are balancing and stretching. This will make you much less prone to injury. Ultimately yoga helps you reach your bodies maximum level of health.
Because these diets take away important food groups to total health, the body responds by burning the energy it needs to survive from its reserves, which can eventually be harmful to the body. During this time when the body is burning its reserve stores of energy, typically fat in the case of dieters, it is also not getting the proper amounts of nutrients that it needs to be fully functional and completely healthy.
Memory and learning improvements have been noted with yoga as it allows participants to reach deep in their minds and clear them. It is really focus based exercise that is great for clearing the mind of distractions.
Just North of Moab, Utah, you'll find Arches National Park. It is home to more than 2,000 natural sandstone arches. There are hikes of various difficulty throughout the 76,000 acre park. An arch that shouldn't be missed is Delicate Arch, the arch featured on the Utah license plate. This 3-mile round trip hike is easy, but don't forget to put on sunscreen and bring water.
While switching one's diet is a fundamental step to take towards achieving overall health in the body, so too is giving the body regular exercise. It should here be noted that regular exercise does not have to mean a gym membership or even an hour a day of working out at home.
Regular exercise can be anything, done regularly, that promotes activity in the body. Playing sports, swimming, going to the racket ball court, hiking, or just simple walks around the local park can give the body the regular exercise it needs to stay healthy when coupled with a healthier diet.
No matter how tough you, old or young, in pain or just starting out with exercise, yoga is an opportunity to create a healthy sustainable future for your body. As more and more athletes turn to yoga to increase performance there will also be more people in the work force that do the same over time. It is becoming a fast trend in the United States and will continue to be one as people continue to see the overall benefits of it in their lives especially in helping them avoid the increasingly popular weight loss surgery.
