To Evaluate The Effect Of Yoga On Moderate Degree Hypertension And Lipid Profile
Effect Of Yoga On Moderate Degree Hypertension And Lipid Profile
Keywords:
Yoga, blood pressure, lipid profile, asanas and pranayamaAbstract
Yoga is a practice consisting of gentle stretching, breath control and mind-body intervention. So we aimed at yoga practice on blood pressure and lipid profile. Methods: Carried out at Dept of Cardiology, Owaisi Hospital and research centre. After taking written informed consent, we selected 60 Patients (30 females and 30 males) age 40 years to 60 years who attended our programs with moderate hypertension who is volunteered to participate in the study. They were trained in asanas (postures), Pranayama (breathing exercise) and relaxation techniques for 6 months. Blood pressure, Serum total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL, HDL cholesterol and total triglycerides were measured at the beginning (baseline, day 0) and at the end of the study (after 6 months). Results: The systolic blood pressure came down from 164.0+ 1.9 to 140+1.9 mmHg, Diastolic blood pressure 96+0.8 to 82+0.6 mmHg, pulse rate declined from 85+1.2 to 77 + 0.7 per min, the TC concentration decreased significantly from 200+ 6.5 to 170+ 3.6 mg/dl (p< 0.001) the LDL reduced from 166+ 4.2 to 148+3.7 mg/dl (p<0.001) and the triglycerides showed a significant decrease from 189+10.3 to 166+8.6 mg/dl (p<0.001), while the HDL cholesterol showed a marked increase from 39+1.4 to 46+1.2 mg/dl (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The results conclude that the Yoga practice in patients with moderate degree hypertension leads to decrease in blood pressure and lipid profile within the period of 6 months.
