Rody Study (reversal of diabetes by yoga study): a scientific study evolving a set pattern of yoga and life style modification in diabetic patients

The rapid change in dietary patterns, physical inactivity, and increased body weight (especially the accumulation of abdominal fat), are some of the primary reasons for increased prevalence of diabetes among the Indian populace, especially in the adults above 40 yrs. There are several studies on different patterns of yoga, but with restrictions on diet, daily routine etc. The present study tried to find out the solution and evolve a fixed pattern of yoga beneficial for diabetic patients, with ease in adaptation. After trial, the set pattern of yoga was introduced and all clinical/haematological/anthropometric and ultrasonic tests were done. The findings supported that a set pattern of yoga, as evolved in this study is beneficial to the type-II diabetic patients to live almost normal and healthy life without much restrictions on diet and daily routine.
