6 Yoga Postures To Fight Bloating, Improve Digestion

Because of our bad eating habits and our sedentary lifestyle, we tend to accumulate more fat in our body, especially the abdomen, thus we tend to suffer from embarrassing digestive disorders. To help you get rid of bloating, improve digestion and reduce your belly fat, here are 6 effective yoga Poses.

Digestive disorders such as constipation or bloating, and fat accumulation in the belly region, are common problems plaguing much of the world population. They are usually caused by the following factors:

An unbalanced diet

Eating processed foods with high rates of salt, sugar or fat slows digestion and promotes the fermentation phenomenon which is responsible for the emission of intestinal gas and flatulence. In addition, this kind of food increases the amount of toxins that enter the body, and which are known for their aggressive effect and their role of promoting the production and storage of fat.

So remember to focus on fruits and vegetables rich in nutrients and fiber, easy to digest and provide the body with vitamins and minerals it needs to function optimally.

A lack of physical activity

Spending long hours sitting at our desks or in front of the screens of our computers, our body does not consume energy and do not feel the need to draw from its reserves. So that by walking, running or any other sport for 15 to 20 minutes a day, we activate the combustion of fat metabolism and we allow our body to eliminate toxins and waste through sweating.

Unhealthy lifestyle

Tobacco, alcohol, stress and lack of sleep are all bad habits that affect health and cause several diseases. They favor the accumulation of toxins in the body and cause the slowdown in its various functions, including the burning of fat metabolism and digestion.
Yoga to the Rescue!

The half-bridge

Lie on the floor, bend your knees and place your feet firmly flat on the ground, away to the width of the pool. Stretch your arms along your body and gradually lift your pelvis upward, keeping your shoulders on the floor. You can contact your hands under your pelvis, to help you grow taller. Hold for 1 minute, breathing slowly and deeply.

The crescent moon

Stand with the feet together and arms along the body. Stretch your left leg behind you, then, by distributing your weight on the balls of your right foot and the toes of your left foot, then slightly bend your right leg. Raise your arms and stretch them backwards to open your chest. Keep your hips straight and facing forward. Take 5 deep breaths and then gradually return to the starting position. Switch sides and do the same.

Torsion seat

While sitting, extend your legs in front of you keeping your back straight. Next, bend your right leg and place the outside of your left knee with the right foot flat on the floor. Place your right arm behind your right hip for stability, put your left elbow against your right thigh. Hold for 30 seconds, then switch sides. This position improves the blood flow to your digestive organs.

The chair posture

Stand up with legs spread wide in the basin. Fold the legs gradually down your pelvis backwards, as if you sit on a chair. Keep your hips directly above your ankles and lift your arms above your head to form a straight line with your back. Hold for 30 seconds before returning to the starting position.

Legs stretched against the wall

This posture helps to restore blood and lymph flow in your digestive tract. Place a mat to the wall, then sit on it by pressing your back and backside against the wall. Then, turn to put you on your back and extend your legs against the wall. Stretch your arms along your body, close your eyes and breathe deeply. Hold for 1 minute.

The chest to knees

On a yoga mat, lie on your back, and then gradually roll up your knees to your chest, breathing slowly and deeply. Place your hands on your shins just below your knee. Pull your legs toward your chest while inhaling. Stay in this position for 1 minute to stimulate the muscles of your digestive tract. Release by exhaling.
