Yoga for Managing Diabetes Mellitus – Sushila Sharangdhar
November 15, 2021 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm IST
Diabetes is a multifactorial disorder essentially resulting from a lack of proper exercise, inappropriate food habits etc. Modern-day stress only aggravates the challenge. All these aspects point to ‘lifestyle’. Besides medical attention, addressing the lifestyle is of paramount importance. With the fast-paced life that we lead, finding the time and often the place itself to address the lifestyle can be a challenge. The addition of pranayama, yoga & meditation, simply called ‘yogic practices’, to the daily regimen is a step in the right direction.
For sterling results with yogic practices, maintain regularity & consistency. As far as possible, stick to a daily fixed schedule. It could be mornings or evenings depending on your other daily demands. Set aside the time and be disciplined about it. You will be amazed at the results.
Diabetes is of two types – Type 1, where there is no production of insulin and is common in children.
While Type 2, where the pancreas does not produce enough insulin.
Let’s look at ways to manage it with Sushila Sharangdhar.
