Yoga for Diabetes
Practicing yoga is great to stimulate various organs and improve our metabolic processes. Various asanas help in making organs like liver and pancreas more active, which may further help in regulating and managing
high cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Some of the most recent medical studies have reported yoga to be beneficial in insulin production as well as aiding in treating diabetes along with prescribed medication. Essentially, postures which involve a lot of twisting or stimulating the abdominal area help a great deal for diabetics as well as keeping a check on cholesterol and high blood sugar levels.
Paschimottanasana
Sit up with your back straight and toes pointing outwards. Breathe in and raise your hands over your head and stretch. Now, while breathing out bring your hands down and bend then forward to touch your legs. Place your hands wherever they reach, hold your toes if you can but don't force yourself. Breathe in and elongate your spine. While breathing out, keep your navel close to your knees.
