The science of yoga is an ancient one. It is a rich heritage of Indian culture. Yoga is not merely a few postures (Asanas), but a holistic approach towards life. Yoga life style consists of physical, mental emotional and spiritual well being. One cannot imagine benefits of yoga without performing it.

Yoga increases insulin sensitivity and decreases plasma cortisol (counter regulatory hormone) level & normalizes glucose as well as lipids in the blood.

By eliminating of stress, yoga normalizes blood pressure. Person will remain cheerful & will try to keep others cheerful.

Yoga increases working capacity & exercise tolerance. Moreover increases vital capacity of the lungs, boost up defence system of the body against infections & decreases body fat and increases muscle mass.

By performing yoga regularly, the dose of medicines (tablets as well as insulin injections) can be reduced.

There are not different types when we say Yog, It is integrated approach affects Body , ( Biochemistry ) , Mind , Intellect , Emotions -all together . Basically at birth we are `all Normal . Abnormalities are developed one by one ,over the period as we grow upn .... by our own thought Patterns, actions , Learning ( by reading writing , listening, Viewing others doing things and developing for each action of our own and perceiving from others actions --- thus forming attitudes and our own behavior pattern which makes us slowly and slowly over the years Abnormal Person . With what you call abnormality , in fact our "Breath cycle also has already changed from what it was normal at birth to abnormality that you observe , Doctors call it ECG graph - it is nothing but our Breath cycle pattern recorded as graph .

Do Yog , Yog is normalising process. DOING YOG , ACTUALLY YOU WORK ON YOUR BREATH CYCLE TO MAKE IT SLOWLY AND SLOWLY NORMAL AS YOUR PROFICIENCY IN YOG INCREASES .

Get some Yog teacher or attend classes run by Bharat Swabhiman and Patanjali Yog Peeth , Haridwar Or see everyday programe at 5 to 7-30 am everyday mo0rning Swami Ramdeo himself teaches tp Thousands of people. You will also get answers to all your problems about Health and how to live Life peacefully without any ailment Or without any medicine.

Yoga is a broad aspect to be practied, the particular exercise is Pranayama, which not only increases the oxygen but the natural energy intake also . Normally all the disease is due to lack of oxygen intake and the real lacking is the prana( Energy), Normally we use only 30% of our lung capacity.we in India given spiritual aspect to Pranayama and the real practice not reached the common man, infact it is queit natural happening, until recently science has not proved the energy theory, but once the God particle theme invented in USA, it is widely discussed the effect in the energy (prana as per yoga theory)going to be a boon for the pateints suffering from chronic disease like diabetics.If practiced under the expert guidance pranayama helps to control or even can cure chronic disease like diabetics The Pranayama should practiced in the presence of a real master as tthis practice should be lead to complication if not guided by experiences teacher. Pranyama is the main practice in Tantra Yoga format. Infact Pranayama and meditation is the main practice priscribed inThantra Yoga and leads to health, Prosperity and Enlightment.

Break down food intake in 5 to 6 sessions. Drink 1 glass of water after 1 hour of taking food and not during.
