The power of yoga in “Eat. Pray. Love.”

The heroine of Elizabeth Gilbert suddenly moves to India. She was pushed to this change by the world of yoga. In another country, the girl begins to practice more often. Yoga helps her to get rid of depression, teaches her calmness and, as a pleasant bonus, makes her body tighter.

Can yoga help with weight loss or can’t do without proper nutrition? Any physical activity is 20% of the result of working with the body. But without that 20%, nothing will work. Yoga is great and wonderful, but if the goal is to recompose the body, then without adjusting the diet will not achieve the goal, says nutriciologist.

Morning jogging in “I’m thin”

The main character Anya likes to eat delicious food and because of this she gained extra kilograms. This was not to the taste of her boyfriend, who is obsessed with zozh and fitness, so he leaves the girl. However, Anya is not ready to just give up. With the support of her best friend and enthusiastic about healthy lifestyles Kolya, she begins to change her habits. For example, running in the morning.

Some people feel most resilient and motivated in the morning. Then running at the beginning of the day is a great solution. It gives them a boost of energy and allows them to spend time alone with themselves – for many it is akin to meditation. However, there are those who find it physically easier to run in the afternoon or evening – this is also normal. It’s all individualized. And the time at which you run does not affect the weight loss process!

Morning exercise with “Moustache Nanny”

In the Soviet movie “Moustache Nanny” the main character conducted a kindergarten exercise. Is it so necessary in reality?

If the day is to be full, then the morning should start with light physical activity. Exercise will help:

wake up the body and prepare it for the new day;
minimize the risk of microtrauma during the day;
improve mental alertness;
strengthen your willpower.

A hearty breakfast in “The Devil Wears Prada.”

Every morning, Miranda Priestley, editor-in-chief of Runway, ate: four slices of bacon, two sausages, soft Danish cheese, a cup of latte with cream and two lumps of unrefined sugar. But is a nutrient-dense breakfast really that healthy?

Dense is a rather fuzzy concept. An optimal breakfast for the necessary hormonal response should contain protein and fat. Fat-containing foods are also necessary for the gastrointestinal tract: they help to activate the gallbladder.

It is recommended to eat breakfast within 1-2 hours after waking up. But you should refrain from sweet products: they do not give the necessary hormonal and insulin response.

Juice fasting in the movie “Fat, Sick and Almost Dead”

The movie tells the story of Joe Cross, a 40-year-old Australian man who was overweight for many years. With such a verdict, the man flatly refused to agree. He threw away all the drugs he had taken for eight years, bought a juicer, got in his car and went on a long two-month journey. All this time Joe, who initially weighed 150 pounds, ate exclusively freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices.

Any fasting should be done under the supervision of a doctor, warns the nutritionist. If you have GI problems and signs of eating disorders, you should not engage in such practices at all.
