8 Poses of yoga for diabetes that help you to control diabetes

ROLE OF YOGA IN CURING DIABETES

Yoga for diabetes:-The number of diabetes patients is increasing day by day, or say that this problem has become common. Diabetes occurs due to a deficiency of insulin hormone in the body or irregularity in its formation. Loss of weight, high appetite, thirst, fatigue, frequent infections, delayed wound healing, tingling in hands, and feet are all symptoms of diabetes.

 Regular exercise is an important weapon to control blood sugar, and yoga is a very old and effective part of it. Blood cells stop responding to the insulin produced in the body when there is a diabetes problem. But by doing yoga regularly, the body starts responding to insulin which helps in reducing blood glucose.
