Is Yoga Asanas Helpful for Managing Diabetes?

  • Improves insulin sensitivity: Yoga postures can help improve the sensitivity of beta cells to glucose, which helps refine insulin secretion. 
  • Reduces blood glucose levels: Yoga can help reduce blood glucose levels. 
  • Improves cardiovascular health: Yoga can help improve cardiovascular conditions, which are often associated with diabetes. 
  • Reduces risk of complications: Yoga can help reduce the risk of other complications associated with diabetes, such as heart disease.
