There can be many reasons for increasing body fat, the most important of which are irregular diet, less physical activity, and consumption of excess junk food or non-nutritious food. When your body encounters extra calories and doesn't use them, it stores the extra calories as fat. An increase in body fat increases the risk of heart disease. Apart from this, many problems can occur including diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, etc.

To reduce fat and lose weight, along with a nutritious diet, the body should be kept hydrated. Apart from this, regular practice of physical activity like exercise and yoga is also effective.

Yoga can also help reduce excess body fat. Some yoga asanas like Surya Namaskar, Trikonasana, Bhujangasana, Padahastasana, etc., can help the body to work as a nerve and can help reduce fat. Let us know which yoga can be beneficial in reducing excess body fat.

Bhujangasana
Bhujangasana is a beneficial yoga exercise to reduce back and abdominal fat. Blood circulation improves with this asana. If the waist is thick and the rest of the body is thin then Bhujangasana should be done regularly. To do Bhujangasana, lie down on your stomach, keeping your palms below your shoulders, inhale, and lift the front part of the body upwards. After remaining in this position for a few seconds, come back to the normal position.

Dhanurasana
If your weight is increasing, you can practice Dhanurasana. It is considered very effective in reducing belly fat. Apart from this, you can also do this yoga to reduce fat in the hands and legs. To practice this asana, lie down on your stomach, bend your knees, and hold your feet with your hands. Now while inhaling, lift the chest upwards and pull the legs with your hands. Stay in this position for 15-20 seconds while concentrating on breathing.
