Are you worried about rising sugar levels? These 5 yoga asanas will control diabetes by awakening the pancreas

News India Live, Digital Desk: Diabetes is a disease which has become common in every household these days. It not only increases blood sugar, but gradually starts affecting other parts of the body as well. People who are struggling with this disease know how important it is to adopt a good lifestyle along with medicines. Yoga can play a very big and effective role in this.

Yoga not only makes the body flexible but also activates the internal organs of the body. In case of diabetes, there are some special yoga asanas which work directly on the pancreas. The pancreas is the organ that produces insulin and when it does not function properly, sugar problems occur. Let us know about 5 such yogasanas which are no less than a panacea in controlling diabetes.

1. Mandukasana (Frog Pose)

This asana is considered best for diabetes. When you do this asana, there is pressure on your stomach and pancreas. This pressure stimulates the pancreas and the secretion of insulin starts improving from there.

• How to do: Sit in Vajrasana, make a fist and place it near the navel and bend forward while exhaling.

2. Dhanurasana (bow-like pose)

This asana also gives good massage to the abdominal organs. It improves the digestive system and helps in activating all the organs including the pancreas.

• How to do: Lying on the stomach, bend the knees and hold the ankles with your hands and lift the body upwards in the shape of a bow.

3. Paschimottanasana (Forward Bending Pose)

This asana not only tones the abdominal muscles but it also activates the pancreas. Its regular practice helps in controlling blood sugar.

• How to do: Sit with your legs straight and while exhaling, slowly bend forward and try to catch the toes of your feet.

4. Kapalabhati (breathing process)

Although it is a pranayama, it is very beneficial in diabetes. By doing Kapalbhati, blood circulation in the entire body improves and all the organs become active. It also helps in keeping the pancreas healthy.

• How to do: Sitting straight, exhale your breath rapidly through your nose. The stomach will move in and out on its own.

5. Halasana (Plough-like pose)

This asana benefits the entire body. It stimulates the thyroid gland and pancreas, which maintains hormonal balance and helps in controlling blood sugar.

• How to do: Lying on your back, slowly try to touch both your feet to the ground behind your head.

One important thing: Before starting any yoga asana, definitely take advice from an expert. If you are a beginner, practice slowly and do not put too much stress on your body.
