Researchers at a university hospital in India looked at post-operative results of adding one time-honored practice into post-op care and found exciting, but predictable results.
Cardiac surgeons at DMCH in India looked at the post-operative improvements in health of participants who either did or did not practice yoga every day following heart surgery.
They looked at respiration, blood pressure, and heart rate of patients who underwent a cardiac surgery over the course of 4 years and found that those who practiced yoga didn’t just have better blood pressure numbers.
They were also found to have better heart rate and respiratory health, and they recovered from the surgery faster than their counterparts who did not practice yoga, pointing to the benefits of including mind-body exercise in post-operative care.
This 100% natural and safe blood pressure exercise is proven to work for almost anyone who tries it, in even as little as 1 day…
Good message. Please give us the recipie.
We’ll define this as the no duh** fact of the day.
Of course. What the Chinese have known for 2000 years suddenly becomes a new research break through. Duh!
These researchers musn’t have anything better to do.
Another waste of public money on reearch that doesn’t need to be dome.

OK… Which yoga exercise are you referring to?
Yes, that's me alright.
Agree with the comments below.
That's a good stretch. I hold it for a couple minutes. Stretches keep my body limber and relaxed. I was a chronic hyper-active and tense guy until I decided to become 'the tortoise in the race with the hare'. Now, 'I' am winning the race with 'myself'. I can intentionally slow down without worry of not 'getting the next thing done' and sustain the aim, or move faster without that long-established pattern of unconscious hyper-activity. And my blood pressure has improved.
Agree. Yoga does wonders for controlling BP and Blood Sugar but it must be done under expert guidance and calls for immense self discipline.
In earlier comments ( those containing the ‘word’ -‘Duh’) it seems that there is confusion over where yoga comes from. I do not think it comes from China!!! Yoga has been around a long time though, yes. However it would have been harder in the past to convincingly prove that it has a physiological rather than purely psychological effect. Such studies are excellent in promoting the health benefits of this ancient practice and may well encourage those who are sceptical to have a go. In this respect it is hard to consider it a waste of either effort or money. After reading this I will definitely be giving yoga a try (anything to keep us of the meds has to be considered to be of the utmost value).
