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.They help reduce cholesterol and fat deposits in the trunk. The arm stretch pose is also an effective yoga for male breasts as it helps to reduce cholesterol and fat deposits in the breast area. Any yoga exercises that help reduce weight, especially those that target the core area, will give you the results you want. Many studies prove that with vigorous resistance training testosterone levels increase, any increase in this male hormone will cause the enlarged mammary gland to disappear naturally. For effective treatment of gynecomastia, you need to involve other factors that influence the condition. The foods you eat also affect gynecomastia. A low-fat, balanced diet is recommended. When practicing yoga for gynecomastia, it is important that you seek advice from a qualified instructor, otherwise your condition may worsen.
