Are you tired of simply managing the symptoms of your condition with pills or undergoing surgeries? Don’t you wish there was a way to improve your quality of life and prevent relapses? While we can’t control the natural process of aging, we can certainly slow down the degeneration of our bodies.
In Hindi, the term “sharir” refers to the physical body, which is bound to decay. However, by adopting a holistic lifestyle, we can age gracefully and enhance our overall well-being.
In light of this, we are sharing the top 5 extensive medical research that substantiates that yoga serves as a holistic approach to disease prevention and management at the physical and mental levels.Â

A Systematic Review of the Health Effects of Yoga for People with Mild Cognitive Impairment & Dementia
Dementia is a condition causing a decline in cognitive and functional abilities, linked to various diseases. There are around 55 million people globally living with dementia, and new cases are increasing by about 10 million each year. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is seen as an early stage of dementia, with around 10-15% of MCI patients progressing to dementia annually.
Yoga, a practice involving gentle movements, breathing techniques, meditation, and more, has shown promise in benefiting people with MCI or dementia. This study indicates that yoga can be adapted to suit the abilities of practitioners providing a safe and beneficial approach to their well-being.
Effects of Laughter Yoga on Health-Related Quality of Life in Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Chemotherapy can cause various physical and psychological side effects in cancer patients. To improve their quality of life, complementary and alternative therapies are often used alongside standard treatments.
One such therapy is laughter yoga, which has shown positive effects on the overall well-being of individuals with chronic diseases. However, there is limited research on the effects of laughter yoga specifically on cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. This study aimed to investigate how laughter yoga can enhance the health-related quality of life of these patients.
Yoga as an Intervention to Promote Bone & Mental Health in Adolescent Females with Anorexia Nervosa: A Pilot Study
This pilot study investigated the effects of yoga on bone mineral density, disordered eating cognitions, anxiety, and depression in adolescent girls with anorexia nervosa. The study included 15 young women who were either assigned to a yoga group or a non-yoga group.Â
The results showed that the yoga intervention, combined with standard outpatient care, led to significant improvements in bone density, depression, and disordered eating cognitions compared to the non-yoga group. This suggests that gentle yoga can be beneficial for the overall bone and mental health of females.
Effects of a Six-Month Yoga Intervention on the Immune-Inflammatory Pathway in Antipsychotic-Stabilized Schizophrenia Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Schizophrenia is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder with various theories explaining its cause. One theory focuses on immune dysfunction. Recent studies have shown that adding yoga therapy to traditional treatment can improve the negative symptoms, cognition, and quality of life in schizophrenia patients.Â
However, the biological mechanism of how yoga works in schizophrenia is not well understood. This study aims to investigate the effects of long-term (6 months) yoga therapy on the immune-inflammatory pathway in schizophrenia patients.
