Abstract
Introduction:- Yoga, a simple and inexpensive technique can be used as a means of improving tness and health status. With this view, it was thought to study the effect of yoga on various biochemical parameters in overweight and obese MBBS students. Materials & Methods:- A pilot study was conducted on ten overweight and obese MBBS students. Yoga sessions were given to the participants. Before and at the end of yoga sessions, their blood samples were examined for various biochemical parameters. Result:- After eight weeks of yoga, statistically signicant reduction in fasting plasma glucose, fasting serum insulin, and LDL cholesterol was observed. Conclusion:- Yoga improves insulin sensitivity. Serum LDL cholesterol is also reduced. This may be helpful in preventing future development of insulin resistance, Type 2 Diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease in healthy overweight & obese individuals.
