My Health News Daily spoke to a number of health experts about how yoga can help individuals shed pounds. For example, the news source spoke to Beth Lewis, associate professor at the University of Minnesota School of Kinesiology in Minneapolis, who explained that yoga can help increase your mindfulness about what you're consuming, and it may help you make better food choices.
"Individuals may avoid foods that make them feel sluggish and lethargic (most processed foods). Instead,individuals will seek out foods that are healthier, which then may lead to weight loss," Lewis told the news source. "Additionally, many individuals eat more when they are feeling stressed and yoga can help combat stress, which can influence one's energy intake."
