In winter, the weather is cold, people's eating habits tend to be more meat-based, combined with a lack of exercise, making constipation in winter very common. Below, the editor of Slimming Men and Women will teach everyone a set of yoga moves that can have a very good detoxifying and bowel-clearing effect, helping everyone quickly eliminate bodily toxins and create good preconditions for weight loss and slimming.

Yoga + Saltwater Colon Cleansing Procedure Step-by-Step Explanation:

In the morning, sit quietly and meditate on an empty stomach for 5-10 minutes, prepare a bottle of light salt water (about 3 liters). First drink 2-3 glasses quickly, then perform the following five postures, each posture six times (one time includes both left and right). After completing each round, drink another 2-3 glasses of water quickly. Repeat this process for three rounds.

Action One: Tree in the Wind Standing Posture

Stand straight in the "Tree in the Wind" position, feet together, arms at the sides of the body. Inhale, slowly raise your hands over your head, palms together above your head while lifting your heels. Exhale, bend your upper body from the waist towards the right side. Hold for a few seconds, inhale back to center. Exhale to the left, inhale back to center.

Action Two: Mountain Pose Standing

Stand in the "Mountain Pose", feet shoulder-width apart. Inhale, slowly raise both arms over your head, stretch them out, cross your hands, rotate your wrists, palms facing up. Exhale, let your arms bring your upper body down slowly until it is parallel to the ground. Inhale again, slowly raise your hands. Exhale, separate your hands and lower them to your sides.

Action Three: Waist Rotation

Stand in the "Waist Rotation" pose, feet slightly less than shoulder-width apart. Inhale, lift both arms over your head, cross your hands; rotate your wrists, palms facing upward. Exhale, let your arms bring your upper body down slowly until it is parallel to the ground; eyes focus on your hands. Inhale, let your hands turn your body as much as possible to the right side. Exhale, try to turn to the left side as much as possible.

Action Four: Prone Position

Lie prone on the ground in the "Snake Twist" pose, palms on the floor, flat on either side of your chest. Inhale, use your hands to support the ground and lift your body until both arms are fully extended. Exhale, hold for a moment. Inhale, let your head turn your body to the right side, exhale, look at your left heel. Hold for a few seconds. Inhale, let your head turn your body to the left side, exhale, look at your right heel. People in better physical condition can try looking at their own backs.

Action Five: Squatting Position

Perform the "Abdominal Massage Squat", squat down, place your hands on your knees. Bend your left knee, place the knee on the ground. Inhale, turn your body to the right side, exhale, place your chin on your shoulder, eyes looking behind you. Inhale, return to the squatting position. Exhale, bend your right knee, do the same practice on the other side.

After completing the above actions, drink water quickly. After finishing the 30 movements of these five postures, drink another 2-3 glasses of water quickly, repeat the second round, drink water again, and perform again, for a total of three rounds. Drink another 2-3 glasses of water finally, then go to the bathroom. If there is no urge to defecate, repeat until defecation occurs. After defecation, relax in the "Empty Pose" for 15-20 minutes without falling asleep.

This set of exercises will relax muscles and internal organs, stretching them. Constipated individuals should perform this twice a month, normal people once a month or every few months, not too frequently, otherwise it may disrupt the body's natural self-regulating function.

Note: Frequent urination indicates insufficient water intake or drinking too slowly.

Additionally, personally, I believe that cleansing the intestines is just the first step, removing the waste inside the body. Theoretically, during the week after cleansing, one should abstain from smoking, alcohol, coffee, hard shells, nuts, chemically processed foods, dairy products, whole milk, sour fruits, etc., and also limit food intake. Try to control your cravings.
