Impact of Short-Term Yoga on Pulmonary Functions in Healthy Individuals | Chapter 3 | Medical Science: Recent Advances and Applications Vol. 10

 

Background and Objective: Yoga is widely practiced as a simple approach to good health. Yogic techniques are reported to enhance overall performance and physiological efficiency. This study aimed to evaluate pulmonary function in healthy individuals aged 20–65 years before and after short-term yoga training, and to compare the effects between young and middle-aged adults.

 

Methods: A comparative prospective study was conducted on 52 healthy individuals (age 20–65 years). Participants were divided into two groups: Group I (n=28, age 20–40 years, young adults) and Group II (n=24, age 41–65 years, middle-aged adults). Pulmonary function parameters, including Breath Holding Time (BHT), 40 mmHg Endurance Test, Vital Capacity (VC), FEV1%, and Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR), were measured before and after 2 weeks of yoga training.

 

Results: Before yoga training, Group I had significantly higher 40 mmHg Endurance Test values (23.48 ± 10.06 vs. 23.37 ± 9.92 sec; p=0.01) and PEFR (462.16 ± 69.17 vs. 413.46 ± 0.59 L/min; p=0.01) compared to Group II, while BHT (32.31 ± 11.03 vs. 29.54 ± 14.06 sec), VC (2156 ± 314 vs. 1826 ± 457 ml), and FEV1% (86.57 ± 9.20 vs. 83.03 ± 11.95) were higher but not statistically significant. After yoga training, Group I showed highly significant improvements in BHT (32.31 ± 11.03 → 41.51 ± 11.86 sec, p<0.001), 40 mmHg Endurance Test (23.48 ± 10.06 → 29.79 ± 10.36 sec, p<0.001), VC (2156 ± 314 → 2466 ± 306 ml, p<0.01), FEV1% (86.57 ± 9.20 → 95.32 ± 4.22, p<0.001), and PEFR (462.16 ± 69.17 → 557 ± 57.9 L/min, p<0.001). Group II also showed significant improvements in all parameters (p<0.001). Post-yoga, PEFR remained significantly higher in Group I compared to Group II (557 ± 57.9 vs. lower values in Group II, p=0.01), while other parameters were not significantly different.

 

Conclusion: Short-term yoga (2 weeks) significantly improved pulmonary function parameters in healthy adults aged 20–65 years, with more pronounced benefits in young adults (20–40 years).

Yoga and its Relation with Diabetes Prevention | Chapter 8 | Disease and Health: Research Developments Vol. 5

The chances of developing type 2 diabetes depend on a combination of risk factors. People are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes mellitus if they are overweight or obese, over the age of 35, have poor eating and exercise habits, daily stress, and/or have a family history of diabetes. Yoga offers holistic solutions to the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus and its complications involving lifestyle changes such as various asanas, changes in diet, and management of stress and meditation. Various studies suggest that yoga can improve the risk of these complications in adults with type 2 diabetes. Studies also revealed that the human body needs a certain amount of fat in the diet to stay healthy. Eating the wrong kind of fat can trigger health hazards. A well-balanced vegetarian diet has proven to be extraordinarily healthy and cures many diseases including diabetes. The effect of yoga incorporating asanas, pranayam, meditation, kriyas, sattvic diet and mental discipline is beneficial to patients of type 2 DM. Stress and sedentary lifestyle are the leading causes of type 2 diabetes. Yoga has been shown to be quite effective in managing blood sugar levels. It helps activate the internal organs like the pancreas and build strength. Moreover, pranayama exercises are very helpful and beneficial for lowering blood glucose. In the current communication, an attempt has been made to explain the importance of yoga in overcoming problems related to type 2 diabetes.

Life Style Diseases and Its Cure through Yoga Practices | Chapter 3 | Advancement and New Understanding in Medical Science Vol. 8

 The concept of yoga practicing in our daily life is a holistic approach towards health as well as an alternative form of medicine. Advances in medical sciences and better living conditions have increased the life expectancy. Biological ageing is correlated with increased morbidity, mortality and poor health states. This together with changing lifestyles and urbanization has brought a radical shift in the types of health problem being faced by populations in the developing world giving rise to an epidemic of chronic diseases. Life style means a pattern of individual practices and personal behavioral choices that are related to elevated or reduced health risk. Lifestyle diseases or diseases of civilization are diseases that appear to increase in frequency as countries become more industrialized and people live longer. They can include Heart disease, Diabetes, Stroke, Alzheimer's, Cirrhosis, Asthma, Hypertension etc. These are caused to a large extent by dietary changes in relation to socio- economic and living environmental conditions. The stress of modern living is causing an enormous burden on health care globally. Poor eating habits sleep deprivation and secondary lifestyles have contributed to the growth of lifestyle diseases.
 
This diseases also sometimes called as western diseases or diseases of affluence, non communicable diseases (NCD) or regenerative diseases.
 
Hypertension is associated with the incidence of some diet-related non-communicable diseases such as stroke and coronary heart diseases. Lifestyle diseases are different from other diseases because they are potentially preventable, and can be lowered with changes in diet, lifestyle, and environment and by supplements with vitamin D.
 
The study was conducted among 60 participants who came for practicing yoga and having regular attendances. According to WHO, the world’s deaths from lifestyle diseases will double by 2015 unless all-out effort is taken to combat them. As per WHO) latest /recent) report 41 million people killed every year due to noncommunicable diseases (NCD’s) which is roughly 74% of all deaths globally.  Main causes /reasons for these lifestyle diseases are Habits, Unhealthy lifestyles/Behaviors and Practices. In another way we can say smoking, drinking, drugs, exposure to pollution in home or in work place, shortage of physical activities, poor or unhealthy eating habits, lack of taking nutritive value foods, shortage in taking water, high stress level, less sleep etc.
 
Yoga is the re-union of mind and body to God. Depending upon the way in which it is practiced it can be divided into several types like ”Khada yoga”, ”Dhyana yoga”, “Raja yoga”, ”Sidha yoga ” etc. Normally Indians practice Khada yoga (hatha yoga). It is nothing but bending and stretching of the bodies. This is the only exercise which starts and ends with a prayer to God. Yoga practice imparts positive energy to us. It will give a energy throughout life. The study concluded that yoga practice is effective for reduce hyper tension. Most of the life style disease can be controlled by practicing yoga.

The Role of Yoga in the Management of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: A Comprehensive Review | Chapter 8 | Advancement and New Understanding in Medical Science Vol. 7

Background: Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is a common and distressing side effect of cancer treatment, which significantly affects the quality of life of patients. This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of yoga as a complementary therapy in managing CINV, exploring its potential benefits and the possibility of integrating it into standard cancer care.

Methods: This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and systematically searched several databases, including PubMed and Cochrane Library. The inclusion criteria were randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT) involving yoga interventions compared to non-yoga control groups, with outcomes measured using clinical parameters.

Results: Four RCTs met the inclusion criteria. Although these studies varied in methodology, they consistently demonstrated yoga's potential to reduce CINV symptoms, particularly vomiting, and improve patients' quality of life. The effects of yoga were more significant in patients who were not taking anxiolytic medications.

Conclusion: Yoga is a promising complementary therapy for CINV, with the potential to manage symptoms and improve overall patient well-being. Future research should focus on large-scale randomized controlled trials to generalize findings and explore the integration of yoga into standard cancer care protocols.

Diagnosis and Management of Diabetes Through Ayurveda (the Ancient Indian System of Medicine) | Chapter 14 | Socio-Scientific Interaction in Diabetes and Cancer and Its Management

 Ayurveda, the science of life serving the mankind since time immemorial. Ayurveda is not only a medical system but also a way of life. Its rich literature contains more information on promotion of health and preventive aspects of disease than any other medical system. Ayurveda mentioned disease called Madhumeha with main symptom of passing sweetish urine. The same can be compared with diabetes mellitus of conventional system medicine. As per Ayurveda, Madhumeha is caused due to imbalance or vitiation of Tridosha (Vata, Pitta & Kapha) or functional entities/energies of body. This vitiation occurs due to physical, psychological and dietary causes which leads to development of disease. This Madhumeha is referred as Mahagada/roga (severe/chronic disease) and difficult to cure. Ayurveda can help in controlling it through dietary restrictions, changing lifestyle and by using some important herbs and minerals, that to with individualized treatment pattern based on the Prakruti (nature), bodily strength of patient. Ayurveda advocates several single, compound formulations prepared with herbs & minerals. For example, Plants called Vijayasara (Pterocarpus marsupium), Haridra (Curcuma longa), Methika (Fenugreek /Trigonella foenum-graecum L.), Karavellaka (Bitter gourd/Momordica charantia) and Naga Bhasma (Lead calx), Yashada Bhasma (Zinc calx) and Shilajit (Sticky substance obtained from rocks in Himalayas) etc. Ayurveda also advocates special procedures like Panchakarma with medicated oils and decoctions to address the disease, Madhumeha. Combination of Ayurveda medicines and practicing Yoga will definitely help diabetes in controlling/managing the disease.

Fundamentals of Yoga Meditation: Physical and Mental Benefits | Chapter 7 | Recent Trends in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 5

Yoga is a psycho-somatic-spiritual discipline for achieving union and harmony between our mind, body, and soul and the ultimate union of our individual consciousness with the universal consciousness. There are certain elements of meditation which should be achieved before sitting for meditation and are described. Transcendental meditation (TM) is one of the techniques of meditation, which involves allowing the mind to dwell on a series of words (called a mantra) given by the meditation teacher, with no effort. If the attention wanders it is allowed to wander till it returns to the mantra. A mantra is a sacred word or phrase that is chanted repeatedly in order to alter one's state of mind and have miraculous religious and spiritual effects on the mind. When mantras are recited during meditation, people enter a higher state of consciousness. It is believed that chanting mantras opens the gates to the absolute. The sound of mantras is associated with a state of tranquil meditation which generates calmness, quietness, and peace in the mind and relaxes the muscles and tones the nervous system and becomes the cause for lowering blood pressure, heart rate, and rate of breath. This creates brain waves which deal with stress and its consequences. The opinion of several yoga masters and distinguished medical experts who worked on meditation for decades is expressed.

 In this item, I bring forward what is famous in the "spiritual industry" that it has immediately become a various take on the chakra arrangement than anyone different in the industry is talking about. This is direct response from summit hosts interviewing me among many others on this problem, as well as individual of the key yogic gurus to bring yoga from India to the West, the first to open the first Holistic Health & Yoga Center in the United States, proverb that I have a "caliber of knowledge" that appreciates the wisdom of this old wisdom, whilst capable to translate it to a Western hearing in a functional habit. Please do know that chakras are not a "of a broad-ranging consciousness-raising movement" phenomena; instead they are a deep erudition, developed from 5k age of ancient insight. Every yoga posture is designed to open the prana - or u.s. city - within that chakra, which is reason you feel better from a yoga class. Additionally, this article is inscribed with the desire for family to appreciate that it's no person simple YouTube video, e.g., of sound healing for the chakra, and then that chakra is well-off. Instead, the chakra column is ultimate reliable system from what or which place to work within one's mind, body & essence system, to two together assess the blockage and therefore be able to clear it accompanying energy cure, healing the obstruction, rather than only increasing the flow, as mention acupuncture does.

Yoga and PTSD: Improving Emotion-Regulation | Chapter 13 | Current Overview on Disease and Health Research Vol. 2

 

This narrative review provides a high-level overview of the health benefits of yoga practise, the unique physiological difficulties posed by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and the clinically significant connection between yoga, PTSD symptoms, and PTSD diagnosis. It also provides evidence from published medical studies that yoga has a significant medical benefit.

The practise of yoga has been demonstrated to enhance emotion control and lessen avoidance and emotional repression. Participants in yoga therapy for PTSD have greater control over strong emotions while maintaining present-moment awareness. These improved skills lessen the conditioned fear response, which is thought to be a key advancement in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder.

The 10-week randomised control experiment, the 20-week case series, and the two long-term follow-up investigations are the main subjects of this review. These qualitative and quantitative research examine how trauma-sensitive yoga practise affects PTSD that is resistant to therapy. The three quantitative trials yield statistically significant results despite having different treatment durations. The frequency and length of yoga practise are particularly stressed in connection to the signs and diagnosis of treatment-resistant PTSD.

The potential outcomes of yoga therapy for complicated post-traumatic stress disorder are especially noteworthy and need further study because typical PTSD treatment models have high drop-out rates and can lead to symptom worsening.

A Novel Approach to Analyze Pranayama through Machine Learning Techniques | Chapter 07 | New Approaches in Engineering Research Vol. 12

 Pranayama (breathing exercises) is an integral part of yoga practise. When practising pranayama, it's important to keep track of how many cycles you've done. The most important thing is to keep track of how long someone is inhaling and exhaling. Maintaining a proper ratio throughout the inhalation: exhalation cycle is critical. The counting procedure is so taxing for a beginning that it is difficult to retain awareness of the breathing process, and the standard of pranayama practise suffers as a result. The goal of the proposed system is to develop a new method for analysing the quality of Pranayama using machine learning techniques. The main goal of the proposed project is to develop an application that can count inhalations and exhalations. It guarantees that users receive feedback based on their breathing and exhalation patterns. It analyses each breath and exhalation pattern and uses Clustering algorithms to classify inhalation and exhalation. This paper's proposed structure aids in improving the uniformity of pranayama. As a result, respiratory performance improves, which reduces melancholy and anxiety. To test the validity of breathing patterns, the KNN, SVM, Random Forest, and Decision Tree algorithms are used.

A Yogic Dynamic Executive Function Frame Work for Linking Attention, Adjustment and Cognitive Flexibility of School Children | Chapter 4 | Challenges in Disease and Health Research Vol. 9

 There is always a rapid expansion of Executive Function (EF) areas of the brain in school-aged youngsters between the ages of 5 and 13. In the provided school setting, where the children's growing genes and their syllabus have a large impact, EF growth is slowed. During this time, the youngsters are overburdened with schoolwork, which limits their learning processes and causes them to become creatively lost in curriculum-based progress. In this study, we propose using a complementary Yoga frame to strengthen the EF. This new framework provides a yoga method programme for improving the mind's attention, adjustment, and cognitive flexibility. Yoga as a supplement to the curriculum instils the habit of thinking about cognitive components of the brain, making their bearers more valuable and contributing to the betterment of society. Yoga frame for kids mediates the link between school curriculum and EF, resulting in improved outputs and underlying yoga benefits. Yoga practises will assist the child's individual EF in growing and transitioning towards adolescence.
