Yoga-Based Interventions for Enhancing Physical Health and Preventing Disease

Abstract

The effectiveness of yoga-based therapies as non-pharmacological methods for fostering physical well-being and averting illness is becoming more widely acknowledged. This study looks at how structured yoga practices can improve important physical health metrics and lower the risk of diseases linked to a certain lifestyle. With an emphasis on hypertension, heart rate variability, lipid profiles, and other associated cardiovascular outcomes, this systematic review attempts to assess how well yoga therapies manage cardiovascular risk factors. Studies evaluating the effect of yoga on cardiovascular health were found by searching a number of internet databases. The inclusion criteria included observational studies and randomized controlled trials that examined how yoga therapies affected cardiovascular risk variables. Key results pertaining to changes in holistic health brought about by yoga practice were identified through data extraction and analysis. The results show favorable changes in physiological indicators linked to illness prevention, as well as notable increases in total physical fitness and functional performance. Frequent yoga practice has been linked to better cardiovascular regulation, increased metabolic efficiency, and improved musculoskeletal health. The study emphasizes yoga as an accessible, affordable, and all-encompassing method for improving physical health and preventing illness. These findings encourage the use of yoga-based interventions into lifestyle management techniques and public health initiatives to lower the burden of disease and enhance quality of life.
