Item Effect of Yoga Module on Fasting Blood Sugar in Type 2 Diabetes.(SVYASA, 2016-01-12) Renuka Devi, C HBackground The two major forms of diabetes are type 1, previously called Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) or juvenile-onset diabetes, and type 2, previously called Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) or maturity-onset diabetes. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is an endocrine disorder characterized by elevated blood sugar levels (termed hyperglycemia). It is caused by the inability of the pancreas to produce sufficient insulin or the presence of another disease process that prevents the body from being able to control the amount of sugar in the blood. Insulin is a hormone needed by the body to transport glucose (sugar) out of the bloodstream and into energy producing cells. Glucose is the fuel for cells of the body and is needed for normal body functioning. Lack of an energy source by cells of the body tells the brain that more energy source is needed and the animal then has an increased appetite. Therefore, a common clinical sign of diabetes is a hearty appetite with weight loss rather than weight gain. Another clinical sign of the diabetes is increased drinking and urinations due to result of excess glucose in the urine. Possible causes of the development of diabetes include genetic predisposition, chronic pancreatitis, obesity, hormonal abnormalities, endocrine disease (including Cushing’s disease), infections, and certain medications (including corticosteroids).Item Effect of Yoga Module on Chronic Low Pain In it Professionals(SVYASA, 2016-01-12) Parimala SunilThe prevalence of back pain is on the rise. “ Throughout the medical profession, we are finding a shocking increase in both the frequency and severity of back problems,” writes Alfred O.

They are caused by an inappropriate relationship of people with their environment. They are different from other diseases because they are potentially preventable, and can be lowered with changes in diet, lifestyle and environment. Unlike other diseases, they can be prevented and managed by making minimal changes to one’s daily life. These are diseases caused by the unhealthy way one leads his life on a daily basis. Lifestyle diseases include diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure and certain types of cancer, arteriosclerosis, heart disease and overweight/obesity. Factors contributing to faulty lifestyle are sedentary lifestyle, smoking, alcohol, improper eating habits and stress. Commitment towards a healthy lifestyle forbidding `the unhealthy habits may allow some people to delay drug therapy or forgo it altogether. Research suggests that lifestyle changes have an important effect on long-term blood glucose control. This is especially true for adults older than 60. Even with medication, lifestyle improvements still provide a major boost in terms of blood glucose control, helping you keep the use of medication to a minimum. (L, 1999)Item Effect of Yoga Module on Fasting Blood Sugar and Postprandial Sugar Levels in Type 2 Diabetes Patients(SVYASA, 2016-01-12) Sneha, SinghBackground: In 2013, 382 million, people had diabetes. We can appreciate this number more by realizing that one out of every twelve persons has diabetes. And the irony is that one out of two people do not even know that they are diabetic as they never got their blood glucose levels checked. It is estimated that the number of Diabetes patients will rise exponentially to 592 million by 2035. Scrutinising the etiology of Diabetes from a Yogic lens reveals that at the cellular level, there is a failure of relationship between insulin receptors and also WBCs and pancreatic cells.
