Yoga prevents mid-life weight gain

[jp...@oakspringwinery.com]

Hi all,
I just read about a recent study that compared the weights of people
between the age of 45 and 55 who practice yoga regularly and those who
don't. The study showed during those 10 mid0life years when people
usually gain weight, the ones who did yoga lost an average of 5 pounds
and the one who didn't gained an average of 15! According to the study,
it's not so much the act of yoga that causes people to lose/maintain
their weight, it's more the state of mind that yoga puts people in.
Yoga makes people mindful of their bodies and being good to themselves
which prevents them from eating an unhealthy diet and gaining weight. I
found that rather interesting. Any thoughts?
