 yoga

Yoga is a Sanskrit word translated as “yoke” or “union.”

To yoke means to draw together, to bind together; or
to unite. Its aim is to yoke or create a union of the
body, mind, soul, and universal consciousness. This
process of uniting the physical, mental, emotional,
and spiritual aspects of ourselves is what allows yogis
to experience deep states of freedom, peace and self
realization.

History of yoga
Its origins are traced back thousands of years to the
Upanishads, a collection of yogic texts dating from
roughly 800 BC to 400 AD. While the word “yoga” was
first mentioned in the Rigveda, but the first time it
was used with its modern meaning is in the Katha
Upanishad. This ancient spiritual text was written
sometime between the 5th and 3rd century BCE.

medical problem that increases the risk of many other
diseases and health problems. These can include
heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high
cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, flat foot and certain
cancers.

Symptoms of obesity
It causes symptoms including shortness of breath,
fatigue, and joint pain, among others. Obesity can also
cause psychological problems including low self-esteem
and depression due to social stigma. Health conditions
such as asthma, diabetes, and high blood pressure
often go hand-in-hand with obesity.

Measuring obesity

identify individuals who are the most likely to be

Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes symptoms often take several years to develop. Some
people don’t notice any symptoms at all. Type 2 diabetes usually
starts when you’re an adult, though more and more children and
teens are developing it. Because symptoms are hard to spot, it’s
important to know the risk factors for type 2 diabetes. Make sure to
visit your doctor if you have any of them.

Symptoms of Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy) usually doesn’t
have any symptoms. If you’re pregnant, your doctor should test you
for gestational diabetes between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. If
needed, you can make changes to protect your health and your
baby’s health.
 Insulin and Pancreas

The main function of the pancreas is to maintain healthy blood sugar

levels. It is a large gland located behind the stomach. It produces
insulin, glucagon, and other hormones. Diabetes occurs when the
pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body does
not use insulin properly (called insulin resistance).

Insulin is released from the beta cells in your pancreas in response to

rising glucose in your bloodstream. After you eat a meal, any
carbohydrates you’ve eaten are broken down into glucose and
passed into the bloodstream. The pancreas detects this rise in blood
glucose and starts to secrete insulin.
