Many people who are not familiar with yoga think that practicing yoga is a very easy thing, and there is no need to rest and replenish energy after practicing yoga..
But those who have practiced yoga know that yoga is not only not simple, but also very physically demanding. Therefore, it is necessary to eat something after the end to replenish the energy consumed..
After practicing yoga, our digestive system is in a state of relaxation and rest. If we eat immediately at this time, our digestive system will not be able to withstand the stimulation, causing excessive burden on our digestive system and greatly increasing the risk of stomach diseases..
When I just finished practicing yoga, my body’s blood is still distributed in the bones, muscles, and other parts of my body. If you eat immediately, it will cause a large amount of blood to flow rapidly to the stomach, reducing blood flow to the heart and increasing its burden..
However, common low-fat vegetables in daily life, such as broccoli, carrots, celery, etc., are not suitable for consumption after exercise..
Eating these vegetables is not enough to replenish the energy consumed during exercise, making it difficult to maintain a healthy metabolic rate..
Therefore, if you must eat vegetable salad after practicing yoga, you can add some yogurt to the vegetable salad and avoid low-fat vegetables..
High fat foods such as potato chips, French fries, hamburgers, and fried chicken must not be eaten after practicing yoga. Although they can quickly fill your stomach, they can also bring you indigestible fat..
Eating these things will make all your previous efforts go to waste. Remember, after practicing yoga, what needs to be supplemented is sugar, not increasing the body’s stored fat..
Potassium plays a crucial role in cellular activity, and excessive salt in salty foods can lower potassium levels in the body, leading to slower recovery..
Therefore, after practicing yoga, do not eat too salty food as it is not conducive to restoring vitality to the body..
Usually, we feel thirsty after practicing yoga, but at this time, do not drink sweet drinks, including carbonated drinks or fruit juice containing fructose..
Because drinking such drinks after exercise can have a counterproductive effect, reducing metabolism and hindering weight loss..
The normal human body is weakly alkaline, but after exercise, a large amount of sugar, fat, protein, and inorganic salts in the body decompose, producing acidic substances such as lactic acid and phosphate during the decomposition process, causing your muscles and joints to become sore and swollen..
So don’t eat acidic foods, such as meat, at this time to avoid making body fluids more acidic and not conducive to eliminating fatigue..
Water is the source of life. When you need to eat after practicing yoga, the first thing you need to replenish is water..
After practicing yoga for half an hour, you can start drinking water, and plain water is the best choice. Drinking water not only helps you eliminate toxins from your body faster through urine, but also reduces hunger and reduces the chance of overeating..
The most important things to supplement after practicing yoga are protein and carbohydrates. Eggs are the easiest snack..
Eggs are rich in protein, and their calorie content is only 70 calories, making them the most nutritious and non fattening food..
Bananas are rich in potassium, which is very helpful in relieving fatigue after yoga..
Eating a banana after practicing yoga can not only supplement the urgently needed potassium in the human body, but also effectively supplement sugar.
