The Most Hazardous Fat On Your Stomach : Understand Your Fat Belly

Most of the people I know are worried about their growing stomach and the continuous fat deposition on it. While we are living in a age where sporting a six-pack abs is a style statement still most of the people are having a big round stomach, while others are start gaining it. But it’s a good sign that now most of them are considering this growing stomach as an indication of future medical complicacies and that true.



While most of the people are doing numerous activities to keep their stomach in shape, I come up with solution through YOGA.


Beginning with this post in a series I will post some of the most simple and most effective “Yoga Asanas” to control your stomach and lead a fore ever youthful life.


Lets understand the basics of fat on the belly:



The most hazardous fat is buried around the organs, deep within one’s belly. Also, when stress levels are high, abdominal fat goes up. Abdominal fat works differently from fat in other parts of the system. This fat has more blood supply besides having more receptors for cortisol. This is a stress hormone. Cortisol levels increase and decrease all through the day. However when one is under continual stress, the amount of the hormone produced remains high. With high stress and, subsequently, high cortisol levels, there is more fat set down in the abdominal area as there are more cortisol receptors there.

Yoga poses (asanas) are one of the 8 limbs of yoga practice. This includes breathwork, meditation, the Yamas and Niyamas.

In a series of post I will share "Basic Yoga for Stomach" with all of you.

Have An Ageless Body & A Timeless Mind.
