What are the health benefits of yoga?
Studies are accumulating on the benefits of yoga, so the evidence so far is neither overwhelming nor conclusive. One of the problems with the study is that it covers a small number of topics and therefore cannot represent the public, and many are carried out in India and only published in foreign medical journals, making it difficult to comply with the strict standards of the magazines. It goes without saying that yoga is not for you and the studies conducted may suggest a trend or potential benefit. Below is a brief overview of some yoga studios.
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) - Many people believe that yoga can raise blood pressure by learning breathing techniques and reducing stress. It is true that lifestyle changes, such as regular physical activity and stress management, can help lower and control blood pressure, but not in all cases. Also, there is not enough research to make a strong statement. There is no mention at all of the American Heart Association report on the prevention, evaluation, and management of high blood pressure. However, there is evidence that yoga can help. One study showed a small but significant decrease in blood pressure in just three weeks of daily yoga, and in another study, doing one hour of yoga per day for 11 weeks found that medication and yoga were effective in controlling the blood pressure. One of the best quantitative studies, systolic blood pressure (top number) fell from 142 to 126 mmHg 40 days after addition and diastolic blood pressure (bottom number) from 86 to 75 mmHg. This finding does not mean that you should stop taking your blood pressure medications when you start practicing yoga (you should never stop taking your medications without your doctor's approval).
Mood: After a single yoga class, men reduced tension, fatigue, and anger after yoga, and women enjoyed a more or less similar state of mind.
Diabetes: There is evidence that yoga can lower blood sugar. After just eight days of yoga in 98 men and women ages 20 to 74, fasting blood sugar levels were better than at the start of the study, but the subjects in this study were faced with difficult-to-understand nutritional advice and treatments. in yoga. he was solely responsible for the transfer.
Carpal tunnel syndrome: People with carpal tunnel syndrome who practiced yoga twice a week for eight weeks had less wrist pain than people with carpal tunnel syndrome who wore splints. There may be an effect due to the stiffer energy in yoga subjects.
Strength and flexibility: Among the most compelling yoga studies, men and women ages 18-27 who attended two yoga sessions a week for eight weeks increased their arm strength from 19% to 31% and 28%, respectively. At his feet. Ankle flexibility, shoulder height, trunk lengthening, and trunk flexion increased by 13%, 155%, 188%, and 14%, respectively.
Asthma: There is a lot of evidence that reducing the symptoms of asthma and even reducing asthma is the result of regular yoga practice. Again, this does not mean that you should stop taking your asthma medications when you start practicing yoga, but it does suggest that there may be a positive result and that you should ask your doctor if you have any questions about it.
Regardless of the title, it seems fair to me to say that those who practice yoga regularly enjoy it and find it beneficial. Preliminary data from the reviewed study suggests that regular yoga practice is beneficial. As your interest grows and you suffer from chronic conditions, talk to your GP about incorporating yoga into your medical routine.
