With the increased popularity of yoga and the yogic exercises all over the world, researchers are also showing immerse interest towards it and are doing enough research on this topic. To their astonishment the benefits offered by yoga are in a wider range which encouraged them to continue their research. A similar story found about the control of Type 2 diabetes with the help of Yoga. Let us know some more information about the research.

The researchers conducted experiments on 60 patients who are suffering from Type 2 diabetes. They asked them to practice regular yoga and examined the level of disease after fewer yoga sessions. Finally this research helped them to prove once again that yoga can control diseases.

The experts recorded the blood sugar levels of the participants before and after yoga practice. They found that there is a controlled level of blood sugar after the practice of yoga and as a result they also reduced their weight. All the 60 patients were found to have reduced their body mass index from 25.9 to 25.4.

The study also found that regular yoga practice reduced the level of oxidative stress levels in the body, which generally occurs due to the increase of reactive oxygen species in the body. If yoga was not done by the participants the rise in those oxidative stress levels can result in various other health disorders.

So, aren't the researchers words enough to say that yoga is an effective form of doing regular exercise. Of course, yes. If we are going to treat one ailment in our body it is giving relief from many unknown ailments which may attack us in the later stages of life.
