Boosting metabolism
Thanks to pranayama – breathing exercises that are included in each workout, the body begins to absorb oxygen more efficiently, releasing carbon dioxide. This helps to speed up metabolic activity, and has a beneficial effect on the health of the walls of blood vessels and internal organs. Performing asanas, we work with the deep muscles that hold the skeleton and are connected with internal organs, in particular, with the gastrointestinal tract, helping it to process and break down food faster, and more efficiently.
Moreover, with yoga practice the acceleration of metabolism is not a temporary
phenomenon for a couple of hours. The body starts the speed of metabolic activity in every cell on a constant basis and begins to work to the maximum in this regard.
