Diabetes Management
Diabetes Management
People at risk of diabetes often include those with a family history, obesity, high stress levels, or women who had gestational diabetes during pregnancy. Yoga has proven to be beneficial in the prevention and management of diabetes as it strengthens immunity, regulates blood circulation, and balances the flow of prana (life energy).
Bending postures help stimulate abdominal organs such as the liver, pancreas, and stomach, which are directly linked to blood sugar regulation.
Helpful Yoga postures for diabetes include
Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand)
Halasana (Plough Pose)
Child’s Pose
Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend)
Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half Spinal Twist)
Savasana for relaxation
Pranayama practices improve circulation, reduce stress, and support the endocrine system. Regular meditation also reduces stress and harmonizes the body’s functions.
Along with yoga, a balanced lifestyle is crucial—this includes regular physical activity, a fiber- and protein-rich diet, and effective stress management.
Common symptoms of diabetes include: sudden weight loss, excessive thirst, constant hunger, tiredness, and frequent urination.
