After practicing, you should wait half an hour or an hour before eating or drinking water, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted. Besides, you generally won’t feel particularly hungry after practicing yoga, because yoga practice itself can replenish the body’s energy through breathing, which is one of the reasons why yoga practice emphasizes breathing.
When practicing yoga, food will still move with the body in the stomach. Therefore, practicing yoga right after eating is not good for your health. Moreover, yoga not only affects the body, but also affects energy. If there is something in the stomach, the energy cannot flow to every part of the body in a balanced manner. Most of the energy will flow to the digestive system for digesting food. There will be no benefit from practice.

You can choose the following foods before practicing yoga
1. Avocado. Avocado is rich in potassium, magnesium and other minerals, which can promote the normal function of human muscles and cells. It is a favorite food among yogis. In addition, avocados are easy to digest but can keep you full for a period of time, and can also effectively lower cholesterol.
2. Banana. Bananas are available year-round, are cheap, and are packed with nutrients. This fruit is rich in potassium and is an ideal pre-workout treat. You can eat it as a salad or smoothie.
3. Fruit milkshake. Making your own smoothie is an ideal pre-workout meal, and is also great for yogis. Fruit smoothies not only provide nutrients to the body but also hydrate the body.
4. Apple. Apples are alkaline fruits that help neutralize stomach acid in the body. It contains natural fructose and fiber, which can also help the body rehydrate. The vitamin C in apples can also replenish your body with energy, making them ideal before yoga.
