Debunking Myths Related to Yoga as a Cure for Diabetes - Dr Sachin Yadav

Uncontrolled blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels and organs, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and other serious complications. Regular monitoring, lifestyle changes, and proper medical management are essential for maintaining optimal blood sugar levels and preventing the progression of diabetes-related complications.

While yoga offers various health benefits, claiming it as a sole cure for diabetes oversimplifies the complexity of the condition. Yoga can contribute to overall well-being by promoting physical activity, stress reduction, and improved insulin sensitivity. However, diabetes management requires a comprehensive approach, including medication, dietary changes, and regular monitoring. Relying solely on yoga might neglect other essential aspects of diabetes care. It is vital to approach diabetes holistically, incorporating proven medical interventions alongside complementary practices like yoga.

In this video, Dr Sachin Yadav, Consultant physician and diabetologist from Chintamani Hospital, Pune, Maharashtra, explains diabetes and its complications while debunking the misconception that yoga alone can cure diabetes.
