The Impact of Lifestyle Changes and Yoga in Preventing and Managing Madhumeha

Dr. Gurpreet Singh

Abstract: Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of preventive health rather than curative measures. Centuries ago, Ayurveda introduced the concepts of Dincharya (Daily Regimen), Ritucharya (Seasonal Regimen), and Sadvritta (Social Conduct), along with guidelines for a healthy lifestyle. However, in the current era, these practices are rarely followed, leading to a significant rise in lifestyle disorders, with diabetes being one of the most threatening. India is emerging as the diabetes capital of the world and it is the second most common cause of death in the country. Diabetes, a lifestyle disorder, cannot be managed solely by medical treatment. Lifestyle modification and yoga play a crucial role in its management. Lifestyle intervention and yoga can help manage weight, control blood glucose levels, and prevent both short - term and long - term complications of diabetes. Yoga, including asanas and pranayama, provides ideal care for the prevention and management of Madhumeha (Diabetes Mellitus), making it a revolutionary technique in combating this disease.
