What should I pay attention to when practicing yoga in summer?

1, when the temperature is high, you will sweat a lot during practice, so you will lose a lot of water in your body. Therefore, we should pay attention to replenish water in time to prevent heatstroke. Generally speaking, if the intensity of exercise is not high and the amount of sweating is not great, you can drink 1~2 glasses of water before and after exercise. Yoga practitioners with the main purpose of losing weight should drink a glass of water before practice, drink a glass of water every 30 minutes during exercise and drink another glass of water after exercise.

2. After practicing yoga, don't drink cold drinks, blow air conditioners and take a cold shower just because you want to be cool for a while. It is best to take a hot bath (not a cold bath) after taking a break to replenish water.

3. Pay attention to supplement some fruits and vegetables rich in minerals in the diet, for example, eat more fruits such as bananas and oranges, and vegetables such as mushrooms, broccoli and peanuts. You should eat it often.

4. Practitioners with high temperature, high consumption, hypoglycemia, weak qi and blood, and bad stomach will be weaker at this time, so we should grasp the amount of action when practicing.

Beginners should be careful not to practice too much, and it is best to practice for about 30 minutes at a time. If you feel dizzy, chest tightness, nausea and other symptoms, you should immediately stop practicing and rest in a place with fresh air, good ventilation or normal room temperature.
