What don’t you do after yoga
1. Gluttony for cold drinks
After yoga exercise, the digestive system of the human body is still in a state of inhibition, and the digestive function is low at this time. If you eat some cold drinks in order to be cool and quench your thirst for a while, it is easy to cause stomach cramps, abdominal pain and diarrhea, and induce gastrointestinal diseases.
2. Squat and rest
If you squat down to rest after practicing a lot of yoga moves, it will hinder the blood flow of the lower limbs, affect the blood circulation, and further deepen the fatigue of the body. In serious cases, it will also produce shock.
3. Take a bath immediately
When we practice yoga, the blood flowing to the muscles increases, and the heart rate increases. After yoga, this symptom will last for a period of time. If you take a hot bath immediately, it will lead to insufficient blood flow to other important organs. If the blood supply to the heart and brain is insufficient, it will lead to dizziness and weakness.
If you take a cold bath after yoga, it will be more harmful to your body. Because when we practice yoga, our body’s metabolism will accelerate, the subcutaneous blood vessels will expand, and then we will sweat a lot. If you take a cold bath immediately after yoga, a large amount of heat in your body will not be released, forming internal heat and external cold, destroying the balance of the human body, and it is easy to get sick.
