To lose weight, do yoga!

Women who want to lose weight should abandon their diet and learn to relax. According to a study that lasted about two years, it was concluded that women who followed a program of yoga and meditation had lost weight.
Better yet, they did not return this weight some time later either. In general, these women were more stress-free happy and healthy at the end of the study compared to the beginning. Experts believe that reducing stress reduces our attraction to fatty foods and sweet.

The study was conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Otago in New Zealand and was to divide an initial group of 225 overweight women into 3 groups. The first group took part in yoga, meditation and positive visualization. The second focuses on exercise and nutrition while the latter received only nutrition advice by mail.
It turned out that the three groups had succeeded, ultimately, not to gain more weight.
The most interesting result was however the first group had obtained a much better result than the others: the weight loss was 2.5 kg on average.

Learn and practice relaxation techniques would be a way to combat the stressful life while being less attracted to food of poor nutritional quality. The study also suggests that diets are not the best method to reduce weight. In fact, taking women out of these cycles of dieting is the key to getting a good and lasting health. It was also noted that volunteers who were more focused on weight were less likely to stop efforts quickly.
