Method: Thirty participants with diabetes recruited from Arogyadhama, Holistic Health Care Home in Prashanti kutiram, at Bangalore, were checked for DNA damage before and after 7 days of IAYT intervention. Age range of participants was from 30 to 65 years. Intervention consisted of intensive residential yoga program comprising of asana (physical posture), pranayama, meditation, devotional sessions, diet modification and interactive sessions on philosophical concepts of yoga. The damage in the genomic DNA of peripheral blood mononuclear cells was assayed by single cell gel electrophoresis method following the previously described protocol of Singh et al. Analysis of the data was done using CASP and excel. Result: After one week of IAYT program, 63% of participants showed lessening in the DNA damage (decrease in post tail length) after intervention while in 37% the DNA damage increased (increase in post tail length). The percentage of decrease of tail length was significantly higher (37%, comparing the percentage of means of pre and post) than the percentage of increase of tail length (19%). The data of both positive and negative change showed normal distribution. Conclusion: DNA Damage has a direct link with defects in metabolism, non-communicable disease like diabetes and stress. There was significant reduction in the tail length of DNA and the total comet length after IAYT intervention which signifies a better improvement in the DNA damage. Whether this was achieved because of reduction in stress or through other physiological pathway is not know. Normall distribution of data shows that the damage or betterment of damage, are both not a chance occurring in this data but first of a kind report of Yoga influencing the DNA repair mechanism.

SailaStress refers to the consequence of the failure of an organism, human or other animal torespond adequately to mental, emotional, or physical demands, whether actual or imagined. In general, stress is related to both external and internal factors. External factors include thephysical environment, including job, relationships with others, home, and all the situations,challenges, difficulties, and expectations one is confronted with on a daily basis. Internal factors determine body's ability to respond to, and deal with, the external stress-inducing factors. Internal factors which influence the ability to handle stress include nutritional status,overall health and fitness levels, emotional well-being, and the amount of sleep and rest one would get. The symptoms of stress include a negative outlook, excessive worrying, inability to relax, eating/sleeping too much or too little, and nausea, alcohol or drug consumption.

It covers a wide range of phenomena, from mild irritation to drastic dysfunction that may cause severe health breakdown.

Distress on the other hand is hard to cope with and may lead to anxiety, concern and can lead to mental problems.Item Part-I Influence of Yogic Practices on Stimulation of Thyroid Gland and its Secretion of Harmones in Hypothyroidism and Part-II Psychometric Properties of Perceived Stress Scale(S-VYASA, 2014-07-03) Valli, Chunduru JyotsnaItem Part 1: Comparison of Concepts of Stress & its Management in Yoga & Ayurveda Part 2: Effect of an Integrated Yoga Program on Autonomic Functions in Police Trainees(Swami Vivekananda Yoga University (SVYASA), 2006) Deepika ShettyCOMPARISON OF CONCEPT OF STRESS AND ITS MANAGEMENT ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA AND YOGA
