Role of Yoga in Distinctly Targeting Modifiable Risk Factors in Type 2 Diabetes to Improve Immuno-Metabolic Axis.

Modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors in Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) contribute to chronic inflammation characterized by elevated pro-inflammatory mediators and constitutively activated immune cells. Chronic inflammation in T2D leads to perturbations in metabolism, resulting in altered immuno-metabolic axis and further vascular complications. Hence, reducing inflammation by targeting modifiable risk factors such as adiposity, sedentary lifestyle and psychological stress in T2D may facilitate efficient clinical management.

A comprehensive review on the implications of Yogic/Sattvic diet in reducing inflammation in type 2 diabetes.

Chronic inflammation in type 2 diabetes (T2D), characterized by constitutively activated immune cells and elevated pro-inflammatory mediators along with hyperglycaemia and increased free fatty acids and branched chain amino acid levels, significantly alters the immuno-metabolic axis. Over the years, dietary intervention has been explored as an effective strategy for managing T2D. Evidence from experimental and clinical studies indicates that various diets, including Mediterranean, Nordic, Palaeolithic and ketogenic diets, increase insulin sensitivity, decrease gluconeogenesis, and adiposity, and exert anti-inflammatory effects, thus preserving immuno-metabolic homeostasis in individuals with T2D.

The Pregnancy Tele-yoga Module to Combat Stress, Anxiety, and Depression Associated with Pregnancy: An Exploratory Open-label Multicentric Study.

Yoga Programme for Type 2 Diabetes Prevention (YOGA-DP) Among High-Risk People in India: A Multicenter Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction: Many Indians are at high risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The blood glucose level can be improved through a healthy lifestyle (such as physical activity and a healthy diet). Yoga can help in T2DM prevention, being a culturally appropriate approach to improving lifestyle.

Smart Instructor for Guiding and Correcting Postures in Real Time.

In recent days, is gaining more prominence and people all over the world have started to practice it. Performing with proper postures is beneficial. Hence, an instructor is required to monitor the correctness of postures.

Estimation of Yoga Postures Using Machine Learning Techniques.

Yoga is a traditional Indian way of keeping the mind and body fit, through physical postures (asanas), voluntarily regulated breathing meditation, and relaxation techniques. The recent pandemic has seen a huge surge in numbers of yoga practitioners, many practicing without proper guidance. This study was proposed to ease the work of such practitioners by implementing deep learning-based methods, which can estimate the correct pose performed by a practitioner.

Feasibility Trial of Yoga Programme for Type 2 Diabetes Prevention (YOGA-DP) among High-Risk People in India: A Qualitative Study to Explore Participants' Trial- and Intervention-Related Barriers and Facilitators.

Yoga-based interventions can be effective in preventing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We developed a Yoga programme for T2DM prevention (YOGA-DP) and conducted a feasibility randomised controlled trial (RCT) among high-risk people in India. This qualitative study's objective was to identify and explore participants' trial- and intervention-related barriers and facilitators.

Transcranial Doppler studies in Type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review.

Background: Type II Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients are at the risk of developing cerebrovascular diseases, often contributed by altered cerebral haemodynamics. We present a systematic review of studies on cerebral haemodynamics assessment using transcranial Doppler (TCD) in T2DM.

Review Method: A systematic review of the published articles in the English language between 1991 to 2021.

Development of a Yoga Program for Type-2 Diabetes Prevention (YOGA-DP) Among High-Risk People in India.

Many Indians are at high-risk of type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Yoga is an ancient Indian mind-body discipline, that has been associated with improved glucose levels and can help to prevent T2DM. The study aimed to systematically develop a Yoga program for T2DM prevention (YOGA-DP) among high-risk people in India using a complex intervention development approach.

Yoga programme for type-2 diabetes prevention (YOGA-DP) among high risk people in India: a multicentre feasibility randomised controlled trial protocol.

Introduction: A huge population in India is at high risk of type-2 diabetes (T2DM). Physical activity and a healthy diet (healthy lifestyle) improve blood glucose levels in people at high risk of T2DM. However, an unhealthy lifestyle is common among Indians.

Yoga versus physical exercise for cardio-respiratory fitness in adolescent school children: a randomized controlled trial.

Background Yoga is very effective in improving health especially cardio-respiratory fitness and also overall performance in adolescents. There are no large numbers of randomized controlled studies conducted on comparing yoga with physical activity for cardio-respiratory fitness in adolescent school children with large sample size. Objective Aerobic training is known to improve physical and cardio-respiratory fitness in children.
