This Simple, Old Practice Reverse Your Type 2 Diabetes

Recently, West Virginia University and University of Virginia scientists decided to find out if an ancient exercise is genuinely beneficial for type 2 diabetics or if it is just a re-emerging fad.

They identified 159 of the best previously performed studies on alternative methods with a total of 2,178 participants. They published their literature review in the Journal of Diabetes Research.

They found that the majority of these studies supported the effectiveness of yoga for multiple aspects of diabetes, including improvement of glycemic control and reduction of insulin resistance, body fat, and blood pressure.

They also discovered that yoga reduced the amount of fat people carried around their waists, which has often been found to be the most harmful type of body fat.

While there were fewer studies on the other aspects of diabetes, they did seem to be positive that yoga could lower oxidative stress and improve nervous system function, sleep, mood, and quality of life.

Yoga seems able to do this through several mechanisms:

– Relaxes practitioners and thereby limits the negative effects of stress on all systems of the body.

– Shifts nervous system activity from sympathetic to parasympathetic, eliminating stress.

– Activates brain structures responsible for positive mood, anti-inflammatory processes, effective use of glucose, etc.

– Increases strength, fitness, and physical function that, in turn, improves your body’s ability to use glucose effectively, reduces cholesterol, and lowers blood pressure.

Find your nearest credible and affordable yoga teacher and sign up to classes that will teach you enough of this traditional practice so you can continue to pursue it at home later.
