Balances the levels of glucose and insulin in body
As we age, our body starts collecting fats in our abdomen which results in abdominal obesity and a pot belly. This heap of fat in belly is harmful and might cause various problems like high cholesterol, blood pressure and various heart problems. The reason behind this deposition of fat in belly is the imbalance of insulin and glucose in body. This imbalance is common with age; however, yoga helps in balancing the level of insulin and glucose in body.
Also, the release of excess cortisol hormone is also responsible for this fat deposition in the abdomen. Cortisol hormone is released in body in case of excessive stress. Yoga helps in providing mental peace and calms the mind to avoid stress.
