Stressed out? Just finished off that whole bag of potato chips? Been there before? Yoga can help starting with day one!
It’s widely known that Yoga reduces stress. Do you think you have to practice for a long time to start reaping the benefits? Think again! Research shows benefits start as early as day one! Now there are also studies showing that yoga may help lessen emotional eating. A study by Bruce W. Smith, PhD, assistant professor of psychology at the University of New Mexico, “found that yoga diminished binge eating by 51%, with participants losing an average of 6 pounds in 8 weeks. It may also help on a biochemical level. Researchers at Jefferson Medical College drew blood samples from 16 yoga novices and found that cortisol levels, a hormone linked to stress, dropped by about 15 to 20% as early as day one.” Do more yoga!
