Between long work hours, endless traffic, and quick meals grabbed it is no wonder we are being affected by diabetes, obesity etc. These conditions, often called lifestyle diseases, affect millions, over 60% of Indian adults, by some estimates, and they\u2019re hitting younger people too. I\u2019ve seen friends in their 30s worry about blood sugar spikes or constant stress, and it\u2019s a wake-up call. The good news? Yoga, a practice rooted in our culture, can help us take control of our health without fancy gyms or expensive treatments. Let\u2019s explore how yoga can keep lifestyle diseases at bay and how you can start today.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/course\/yoga-teachers-training-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Improve your life by using Yoga as preventive measure for lifestyle disease!

In India, diabetes is a massive issue, affecting around 77 million people. While heart disease kills about 1.5 million people each year. Obesity is climbing fast in cities, and high blood pressure is almost a given for many. These aren\u2019t caused by germs but by choices we make, often without knowing it:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"tight\" dir=\"ltr\" data-tight=\"true\">\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Grabbing processed snacks instead of fruits.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Spending hours on phones or desks instead of moving.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Letting work stress keep us up at night.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Treating these conditions isn\u2019t cheap &#8211; managing diabetes can cost \u20b910,000-20,000 a year, and that\u2019s just for one person. Medicines help, but they don\u2019t fix the root problem. That\u2019s where yoga comes in, offering a natural way to prevent these issues before they start.<\/p>\n<p>Yoga as a preventive measure for lifestyle disease is not a new concept. Yoga, a holistic art and science is the best way to live a healthy life that has ever been created and is particularly useful in treating common lifestyle conditions like diabetes and hypertension. It is a comprehensive and all-encompassing life science that addresses the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being of the individual and his community. In the next sections we will learn about lifestyle disease and how to prevent it with yoga.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lifestyle_Diseases_in_India\"><\/span><b>Lifestyle Diseases in India<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India is facing a growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

Stress is an internal overreaction rather than a reaction to external stimuli and can be reduced by doing this. To attain mental clarity (Chitta prasadhanam) the therapist has to give the Maharishi Patanjali values of Maitri, Karuna, Mudita, Upekshanam. Therapists should stress on cultivating Karma Yoga, Raja Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and on the patient to adopt the opposite view on negative thoughts and actions (pratipaksha bhavanam).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Breath-Body Movement Coordination Techniques<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Practices that improve mind-body harmony via the use of &#8220;breath-linked movements&#8221; should be promoted. Sukshma and sheetalikarana vyayama techniques, as well as the enjoyable jathis of the Gitananda style, are beneficial in this respect. The Surya namaskar, when performed slowly with awareness of breath, can also result in psychosomatic harmony. The postures can be sustained strain-free for a brief duration while maintaining a meditative awareness of the Surya mantras, which are the names of the sun.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Healthy and Heart-Friendly Diet<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It is essential to have a healthy diet. Have meals regularly with green vegetable salads, sprouts, fenugreek, turmeric, bitter gourd, neem. Minimum salt and maximum potassium and calcium from fruits and low fat dairy products and good hydration is must. And therapist should tell the patient to lose few kilos of body weight to reduce blood pressure and improve insulin sensitivity. Some useful tips are to eat when hungry and after your previous meal is digested, eat small frequent meals with complex carbs, avoid processed and junk foods.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Asanas in Yoga<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The following asanas may be modified to suit the patient&#8217;s physical condition and any coexisting medical issues. It is beneficial to do standing poses such as padottana, hasthapada, padangushta, mehru, and tada inversions. Bhujanga asana and Ardha Shalabha asana are beneficial standing poses, whereas vakra, gomukha, ushtra, shashaha, and yoga mudra asana are a few beneficial sitting poses.<\/p>\n<p>Matsya asana, pavana mukta asana, and eka and dwipada uttanpada asana are among the supine poses. The baroreceptor reflex mechanisms that control blood pressure may be reset by adopting topsy-turvy poses. If the patient is unable to do postures like sarvanga and sethubanda sarvanga asana, similar results may also be obtained using &#8220;head-below-heart&#8221; poses.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Pranayamas<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In addition to being helpful, the pranayamas of vibhaga and pranava. As well as chandra bhedana and chandra nadi lessen sympathetic overactivity. Meanwhile, these excellent methods for lowering stress include Savitri, nadi shuddhi (also known as aloma viloma in the Gitananda school), and Bhramari pranayama. Pranayamas that promote relaxation include sheetali and sitkari.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Kriyas To Remove Toxins<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Cleaning techniques like kunjal, nauli, kapalabhati, agnisara, and shanka prakshalana can be done to patients based on their body inclinations.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Mudras<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The shanmuki mudra, brahma mudra, and viparita karani are all beneficial in different ways. In addition to being a &#8220;head-below-heart&#8221; healer, Viparita Karani has a significant impact on the psycho-neuro-endocrine axis. While the Brahma mudra works with breath and vibration (nada) to promote a sensation of relaxation and reinvigoration in the head and neck area, reducing tension and normalizing reflex systems, the shanmuki mudra creates inner peace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/course\/yoga-teachers-training-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Learn <\/strong><strong>Yoga as preventive measure for lifestyle disease! Join the Entri app!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Yoga Relaxation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hatha Yoga has relaxation techniques. These can be done from shavasana. They include kaya kriya, which is dynamic body relaxation. Marmanasthanam kriya is part-by-part relaxation. Spandha nishpandha kriya alternates tension and relaxation. Thus Jnana yoga relaxation techniques like yoga nidra and anuloma viloma kriya can aid in lowering stress. And promoting psychosomatic harmony. For those suffering from any kind of psychosomatic condition, even the most basic version of the Makara asana is a great way to relieve tension.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Dharana and the Dhyana<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Popular concentration exercises that lead to a state of meditation are om japa and ajapa japa. Mandala dharana can be done on all chakras. Focus on the Anahata chakra. This balances prana vayu in the heart. Also, focus on the navel center. This harmonizes samana vayu at the manipura chakra. Chakra dhyana is another good technique.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Yogic Counselling<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Since yoga is essentially a preventative life science, this is an essential part of Yoga Chikitsa for treating any lifestyle disorder (heyam dukhkam anagatham &#8211; Yoga Darshan II: 16). Counselling is not a single event. It&#8217;s a continuous process. It starts with the first appointment. It then continues through each session, at different levels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/course\/yoga-teachers-training-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Learn Yoga from the best teachers in the industry!
