There can be many reasons for increasing body fat, the most important of which are irregular diet, less physical activity, and consumption of more junk food or nutritionless food. When your body encounters excess calories and does not use them, it stores the extra calories as fat. Increasing body fat increases the risk of heart disease. Apart from this, many problems including diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, etc. can occur.
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 such as Surya Namaskar, Trikonasana, Bhujangasana, Padhastasan, etc., can help the body to work as a nervous system and can help reduce fat. Let us know which yoga can be beneficial to reduce excess body fat.
Bhujangasana
Bhujangasana is a beneficial yoga exercise to reduce back and belly fat. This asana improves blood circulation. 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 the stomach, keep the palms under the shoulders, breathe, and lift the front part of the body upwards. After staying in this position for a few seconds, come back to a normal state.
Dhanurasana
If your weight is increasing, then you can practice Dhanurasana. It is considered very effective in reducing belly fat. Apart from this, you can also do this yoga to reduce the fat of your hands and feet. To practice this asana, lie down on your stomach, bend your knees, and hold your feet with your hands. Now while breathing, lift the chest upwards and pull the feet with the hands. Stay in this position for 15-20 seconds while focusing on the speed of breathing.
Trikonasana
The practice of Trikonasana improves the blood circulation of the body and brings energy and glow to the face. It increases agility, strengthens muscles, and reduces excess fat on the waist. To practice this asana, stand straight and keep some distance between the legs. Now bend the waist towards the left and touch the toes of the left foot with the left hand. Then keep the right hand straight and touch it to the head. Repeat this action on both sides while bending the waist towards the right and touching the toes of the feet with the right hand.
