Yoga for Diabetes.
Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood glucose (hyperglycaemia). This may be due to defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Insulin is a hormone secreted by beta cells of langerhans located in the pancreas.
Regular yoga practice reduces blood sugar levels, blood pressure, weight, progression speed to complications and severity of complications. Symptoms are also significantly reduced, as are the number of hospitalized patients with diabetes.
In effect, a well-planned and regular exercise regimen can be very beneficial if it is a part of everyday life, more so if one has diabetes. Exercise has the advantage of controlling the blood sugar levels without taking any additional medications.
Overall regular exercise can not only help in better control of blood sugar but also helps with the control of weight and blood pressure as it lowers the bad cholesterol and raises the level of good cholesterol in the blood. Exercise can reduce the risk of heart disease and nerve damage, the risks of which are higher with diabetes.
