Yoga Could Reduce Type 2 Diabetes Risk by 40%, Report Shows
A new study says doing yoga might help stop people from getting Type 2 diabetes, which is a disease where your body has trouble using sugar.
The study found that people who do yoga regularly could lower their chances of getting the disease by up to 40%.
This is especially helpful for people who might already be at risk, like if their family has diabetes.
The study looked at how yoga can help people who aren't sick yet, rather than those who already have diabetes.
Researchers are still studying exactly how yoga works to prevent diabetes and which specific yoga moves are most helpful.
A new report suggests regular yoga may cut Type 2 diabetes risk by 40%.
The report, 'Yoga and Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes,' was presented to the Union Health Minister.
It focuses on yoga's potential to prevent diabetes in high-risk individuals.
The study was conducted by the Research Society for the Study of Diabetes in India.
Specific yoga asanas were identified, though more trials are needed.
