Yoga Can Help With Weight Control

I read an article that stated that practicing yoga fights extra pounds by supporting endocrine and thyroid function as well as by lowering cortisol, a stress hormone that promotes weight gain around your middle.  Yogis say back bends can even boost your energy if you're dragging in the morning.  So another good health tip for those trying to control the pounds around their waist and stomach is to practice yoga.  How easy and pleasant is that?
