RSSDI Study Shows Yoga Prevents Diabetes: 5 Yoga Asanas To Control Blood Sugar Levels [Video]

About The Study

The research titled “Yoga and Diabetes Prevention,” released by Dr. Jitendra Singh, highlights yoga’s significant role in preventing type-2 diabetes, especially in people with prediabetes.

Conducted over three years across five centres in India, the study involved nearly 1,000 participants and showed that practising a 40-minute daily yoga routine, including specific asanas and pranayama, reduced diabetes risk by about 40%.

The Indian Prevention of Diabetes Study published in Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research and Reviews suggested that this outcome outperformed other established prevention strategies, such as lifestyle modifications alone (28% risk reduction) and a combination of lifestyle changes with stepwise medication like metformin (32% risk reduction).

Dr. Jitendra Singh, who released the study, described it as a potential “game changer” for India’s healthcare system, where more than 13.6 crore people are prediabetic and over 10.1 crore are living with diabetes.
