Is Bikram Mental Yoga Dangerous?

mental yogaBikram yoga began in India where the outside temperatures often exceed 100 degrees. Bikram Choudhury tried to simulate these conditions in America by having people perform 26 yoga postures in a hot room during 90-minute classes.
The Bikram Yoga College of India in Los Angeles has 314 certified schools worldwide. The method has attracted people who want to lose weight and improve mental health flexibility. Orthopedic specialists charge that the method is potentially dangerous. Heat allows people to stretch more; but excessive stretching damages the muscles and causes joint instability.

Bikram teachers counter that doing yoga in a heated room helps people achieve the postures slowly and safely. Unfortunately, enthusiasm and competition among participants might be making people push harder than they should, which leads to injury. Back experts, such as Dr. Stuart McGill from Canada, stress the importance of stabilizing the spine for back women health.

Excessive flexibility promoted by Bikram yoga can result in unstable joints that can cause problems. Developing normal flexibility is good, but Bikram yoga may be too much of a good thing.

Multivitamins Prevent Oxidative Stress

The body produces chemicals called free radicals at rest and during exercise. Metabolism increases between six to more than 20 times above rest and free radical production keeps pace. Free radicals are highly reactive, which means can involve themselves in many chemical reactions in the body.
Unfortunately, free radical-related reactions break down membranes, critical proteins and DNA ??? the genetic material that controls aging and the response to disease. Free radicals cause deterioration in the tissues, leading to coronary artery disease and other women health problems.

Twenty-years ago ??? before we knew much about free radicals and antioxidants ??? nutritionists said consuming a healthy diet provided all nutrients people need for good health. While eating healthy foods is still good advice, many people need supplements to protect them from free radical damage. Read more!
