Become Menally Healthier Through Yoga

Did you know that America is the fattest country in the world (referring to the people) and that reputation has started to get to us. Now more than ever Americans are trying to lose weight and get into shape. There are hundreds of new exercise programs that hit the market every month. There is an endless supply of diets and exercise routines, so why are we still so fat? I think that a big part of the equation has to do with the way we think and our mental health.

I believe it also has a lot do to with stress. Stress causes all kinds of health problems and I think that it makes some people gain weight or hold on to the weight that they already have and are trying to get rid of. If we are truly going to become a healthier country, I believe that we need to focus more on the importance of relieving stress.

One of the best and most popular forms of exercise to relieve stress is yoga. Yoga has become wildly popular in this country and the world over. Many people get great results by doing simple yoga exercises regularly and these people also report that a great deal of stress relief comes with the exercise.
