Question:

Those of us who have been discussing yoga in a recent thread may be interested in some research published in the UK today about a pilot scheme to alleviate diabetes by participating in yoga classes.  Apparently, the relaxation benefits of yoga have a clinically demonstrable effect on blood sugar (ie lowering it).  I saw it on the BBC news today so I imagine it will be carried on the www.bbc.co.uk website if anyone wants to find out more.

I did a search (for yoga AND diabetes) on the BBC website and found the following link http://news6.thdo.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/health/newsid%5F467000/467711.stm However, this story is old (October 8, 1999) but points in a similar direction. If anyone has any better luck tracking down this story, please let me know. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Those of us who have been discussing yoga in a recent thread may be interested in some research published in the UK today about a pilot scheme to alleviate diabetes by participating in yoga classes.  Apparently, the relaxation benefits of yoga have a clinically demonstrable effect on blood sugar (ie lowering it).  I saw it on the BBC news today so I imagine it will be carried on the www.bbc.co.uk website if anyone wants to find out more.
