Naukasana is effective in reducing obesity, take these precautions

Today many people are troubled by obesity and stomach problems. The main reason behind this is wrong lifestyle, unadulterated eating and routine. Waking up late at night, getting up late, regular exercise and not doing yoga exercises, untimely eating, unbalanced diet and fried foods are the main causes of stomach problems.

 

Due to poor digestion, whatever food we eat, does not convert into energy, it turns into fat. This causes many incurable diseases including obesity, constipation, stress.   Yoga is a good tool to avoid these diseases. Naukasana is helpful in keeping the digestive system smooth and reducing obesity. By practicing this asana daily, all problems related to the stomach are removed and fat is also reduced. It is known by the name Naukasana that in this posture, the shape of the body is formed like a boat. By performing Naukasana, it provides ease and firmness in all parts of the body.

Method : Lie on your stomach by laying a mat or carpet on the ground. Put your two hands together in a position of salutation and keep them in the front line of the head. Mix the heel and claws and keep it taut. Now while breathing, slowly raise the front of the body including legs and torso as high as possible. Lift the body so that the entire weight of the body remains on the navel area and the feet and head remain upwards. In this case, the shape of the body should be such that it is the size of a boat. After this, first shake hands and then move the feet too. Move on the stomach, but maintain the shape of the body like a boat. Stay in this position by stopping the breath for as long as you can. In this case, the weight of the entire body is only in the navel area. This is the absolute status of Naukasana. Stay in this position until the abdominal muscles feel tremor. Then leaving the body slowly breathing, leave the entire body on the loose ground. Do this process three or four times. Then rest.   Benefits of Asana: Naukasana reduces obesity by reducing abdominal fat. This asana is extremely beneficial for obese persons. This asana is also beneficial in alleviating diabetes, strengthening the digestive system, energizing the body and increasing hunger. Nauksan relieves constipation.

In the beginning, there is difficulty in raising the body completely, so in the beginning, raise the body upwards and keep it steady as per your ability. Asana should be done slowly without jerking. Whenever there is pain, leave the posture and come to the posture of complete relaxation.
