Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Yoga, a form of physical activity is rapidly gaining in popularity and has many health benefits. Yet healthcare providers have been slow to recognize yogic practices and their ability to improve health conditions, and a few Yogic techniques have been developed that take full advantage of its benefits. The purpose of this article is to review published studies using yogic practices and to determine the effect of Yogic techniques on common risk factors of chronic diseases (obesity, high glucose level, hypertension and high cholesterol). A systematic search yielded 50 articles published between 1980 and April 2015. The studies found that Yogic techniques are generally effective in reducing obesity, high glucose level, hypertension and high cholesterol, but only some studies examined long-term adherence. Additionally, not enough studies included diverse populations at high risk for diabetes and its related common health problems.
