Diabetes and Yoga Postures

Yoga is more than simply a way to unwind your body and mind, especially if you have diabetes. Many doctors advise yoga for managing diabetes because certain postures may lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels while also enhancing circulation.
Your chance of developing heart disease and other diabetic problems may even be lowered with regular exercise and yoga.
1.      Reclining Bound Angle Pose
This pose might help you relax and soothe your nervous system. Additionally, by lowering your stress levels, this stance may also help lower your blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Additionally, the bladder, kidneys, and stomach organs are supposed to be stimulated by it.
2.     Surya Namaskar
 
Surya Namaskar, also referred to as the sun salutation, is one of the world's most thorough stretching routines. This asana increases heart rate for 20 minutes, aids in weight loss, lowers blood sugar, and improves insulin sensitivity. It is one of the top 10 yoga positions for controlling diabetes since it strengthens and stretches the entire body while enhancing blood flow.
 
3.     Balasana
 
This reclining position increases relaxation, which may support the growth of beta cells that produce insulin. Additionally, it might aid in reducing stress, exhaustion, and back and neck problems.
 
4.    Halasana
 
The plow pose, or halasana, engages a variety of body parts. Your spine, hamstrings, and shoulders all get stronger from the activity. The thyroid gland may be stimulated by this inversion, which may also improve circulation and lessen stress. Additionally, its therapeutic properties might aid with sleeplessness, headaches, and backaches.
 
5.     Ardha Matsyendrasana
 
This sitting position is also known as the lord of the half-fish pose or the sitting half spinal twist. This twisted position activates the organs in the abdomen, which could lower blood sugar. Additionally, it is said to enhance digestion and increase vitality.
