Diabetes is not only a dangerous disease, but it's also expensive
to manage. The good news is that yoga experts have identified some yoga
moves that can be used to manage the condition. Here are some of the
beneficial moves:
Pranayan
In
addition to helping you to beat diabetes, this move also aids in helping
you to breathe deeply so that you can oxygenate your blood and improve
blood circulation.
To assume the pose you need to sit on a yoga
mat in a cross legged position. While sitting, you should ensure that
your back is straight and your chin is parallel to the floor.
You
should then place your hands on your knees with the palms facing upwards
then close your eyes and start breathing deeply. Once you are done, you
should rub your palms together until they are warm and then place them
on your eyes. You should then open your eyes and smile.
Setubandhasana
Other
than keeping your blood sugars in check, this pose also aids in keeping
your blood pressure in control. The move also aids in relaxing your
mind, improving your digestion, and stretching the neck and spine.
To
assume the pose you need to lie on a yoga mat with your feet flat on
the floor. Pushing up off the floor with your feet, you should raise
your body until your neck and head are flat on the mat while the rest of
the body is in the air. You should hold in this position until tension
starts to build.
While this move is very beneficial, you should avoid doing it if you have back or neck injury.
Balasana
Widely
known as the child's pose, this move not only aids in beating diabetes,
but it also aids in relieving stress. The move also aids in stretching
the hips, thighs and ankles. Research has shown that the move also aids
in relieving fatigue.
To assume the move you need to sit on the
floor with your weight on your knees. Flattening your feet, you should
sit on your heels and spread your legs a little then bend forward from
your waist.
You should let your stomach rest on your thighs and
elongate your back by stretching out your arms. You should then rest
your forehead on the floor and hold in this position for as long as
three minutes.
Experts say that you should avoid this pose if you have diarrhea or if you are pregnant.
