Does YOGA- Kapalbathi helps in reducing weight ?

Yes it does!
Especially the abdominal fat. While practicing, there will be flapping of abdomen.

Kapalbathi is a heating pranayama and it increases the metabolism as well.

Isn't Kapalbathi only for relaxation and breath control?

Hello Lifemojo expert !

As you have mentioned above it reduces abdominal fat ... It only reduces the fat or helps in reducing the weight also ?

Yes, It Does In fact I am doing a clinical study on effectiveness of Kapala bati in Weight Loss and Diabetes.

@ Vijay ..
If it would reduce abdominal fat that means its obviously going to reduce your weight too. Our body weight that we struggle to reduce is made up mainly of water, body fat, bones and muscles. From these all components we can reduce or increase our body fat and muscles. Water is of course a main source of our body to metabolize food, remove toxins, body temperature etc. So its better wedont try reducing water weight but we can reduce the body fat mass by doing kapalbhati pranayam. It would help to reduce your tummy and tone it .
