YOGA: A COUNTER TOOL FOR GYNECOMASTIA (MAN BOOBS)

Abstract

Gynecomastia is a condition in men that involves abnormal enlargement of one or both breasts. It is more common in overweight or obese men who have just reached puberty. Gynecomastia can also occur in older, overweight men. The usual cause is hormonal changes that occur in the body. Medications containing estrogen are also responsible for this condition. Practicing yoga for gynecomastia is an effective solution because yoga helps in weight loss. When you practice yoga for gynecomastia, the fatty tissue that mainly makes up the breast is reduced, helping to control gynecomastia. Inverted yoga poses like fish pose, wheel pose, and semi-wheel pose are very effective forms of yoga for gynecomastia.
