Eating while sitting on the floor also helps in weight loss. The main cause of weight gain is overeating. The vagus nerve (signaling from the stomach to the brain) can regulate appetite and food intake while sitting on the floor. Eating while sitting on the floor rather than at the table, slows down eating and improves stomach-brain coordination. As a result, the tendency to overeat is reduced and the weight is also controlled.

*3-Increases flexibility

By sitting in Padmasana, the muscles in the back, waist and abdomen are stretched, improving the digestive tract. Sitting in such a position helps to digest and absorb food instead of stressing the stomach. As a result, the muscles near the stomach are tensed and the body becomes flexible and healthy.
