Eliminate edema and help lose weight by doing lymphatic stretching exercises easily

The most annoying thing is that you cannot lose weight even though you have tried your best to resist the temptation of fried food and sweets. In fact, the cause of weight gain is not only related to the calories you eat. If the circulation in the body is not smooth, it is also very easy to cause edema-type obesity. If you want to eliminate edema and help lose weight, the yoga teacher shared the whole body lymphatic stretching exercise and suggested that you can take a little time every day to practice it.

Upper body lymphatic stretching exercises

Yoga teacher Tang Youxin said that you should first prepare a soft mat and lay it flat, then kneel on the floor, raise your hands forward with your palms open, and open your hands accordingly, feeling your chest expand, and maintain two deep breaths. This movement can stretch the cheek line lymph, axillary lymph, chest line lymph, etc. of the upper body, and improve the condition of edema in the upper body.

And complete stretching can also effectively enhance immunity and prevent cold symptoms caused by the changeable spring climate. In addition, you can also exercise the abdominal lymph nodes by spreading your arms and turning around.

Lower body lymphatic stretching exercises

Then stretch your right foot to the right and place it flat on the floor. First, gently turn sideways and touch your toes with your right hand. If your flexibility is poor, you can place it on your calf and feel the lymph nodes in your leg stretch. Then raise your left hand and stretch it upward. Turn your head to look at your fingertips and feel the muscles in your groin stretch.

For the last movement, please keep breathing deeply and bring your hands close to your cheeks when exhaling. At this time, you can also move to the side and armpit lymph nodes at the same time. Maintain two deep breaths, then switch sides and do it again.

Don't make NG moves

Teacher Tang Youxin mentioned that after stretching the lymph nodes throughout the body, you can pat your armpits, thighs and other places with your hands, which can also help circulation. In addition, when doing the movements of stretching with both hands open and stretching sideways, you may accidentally bend your waist forward, lift your buttocks, or bend your neck, etc. These are NG movements. Remember to keep your upper body upright, and rely on the strength of your limbs and waist to drive the body twisting.
