Yoga is a traditional Indian practice that promotes physical fitness, mental calmness, and stress management. Today, it is widely practiced around the world as a simple and effective way to improve overall well-being.
Yoga combines gentle body postures, controlled breathing (pranayama), and relaxation techniques. These practices help to reduce stress, improve flexibility, regulate breathing, and enhance mind–body awareness. Since stress and inactivity play a major role in diabetes, yoga can support better blood sugar control. Research shows that regular yoga practice may improve glucose tolerance, support healthy weight management, reduce the need for medications, and improve cholesterol levels. Mental discipline developed through yoga also helps to prevent overeating and unhealthy lifestyle habits.
Could adding just a few minutes of yoga to your daily routine be a simple step toward better blood sugar control and a healthier life?
