Yoga linked to weight loss in overweight
Posted on: Friday, 14 August 2009, 17:03 CDT
Regular yoga practice may help prevent middle-age spread in normal-weight people and overweight people may drop a few pounds, U.S. researchers said.
Alan Kristal and colleagues at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle said in an earlier study, the researchers learned middle-age people who practice yoga gained less weight over a 10-year period than those who did not -- independent of physical activity and dietary patterns.
The follow-up study, published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, found people who ate mindfully -- those were aware of why they ate and stopped eating when full -- weighed less than those who ate mindlessly -- who ate when not hungry or in response to anxiety or depression.
The study also found a strong association between yoga practice and mindful eating but found no association between other types of physical activity, such as walking or running and mindful eating.
