Study: Yoga May Ward Off Diseases
Aug 26th, 2010 | By admin | Category: Featured, YogaA new study out of Ohio State University suggests that yoga may help to fight certain diseases.
In the study, women who had practiced yoga regularly for at least two years were found to have lower levels of inflammation in their bodies than did women who only recently took up the activity.
Inflammation is an immune response and can be beneficial when your body is fighting off infection, but chronically high levels of inflammation are known to play a role in certain conditions, including asthma, cardiovascular disease and depression.
