Yoga, an practice may be considered as an integrated form of physical exercise in reduced symptoms and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, some studies suggested.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, is condition of digestive disorder affecting the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the ring of muscle between the esophagus and stomach with symptoms of heartburn or acid indigestion.

Yoga, the ancient technique for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been best known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

In the study to compared the efficacy of yoga intervention and frequent consumption of over-the-counter or prescribed proton pump inhibitors (PPI), researchers filed the following results
1. PPIs and other over counter medicine are insufficient to relieve the symptoms of gastric reflux.
The combination of yoga intervention and medicine expressed a significant reduction of the severe symptoms of GERD, including bloody stools or bloody vomiting, dysphagia in ameliorated sensation of food being stuck in your throat. and prevented nausea.
2. The combined treatment also showed an strong effect in avoid or delay the necessity of invasive procedures

Proton pump inhibitors are class of drugs used in conventional medicine in reduced gastric acid production with pronounced and long lasting effects

Based on the finding information, Dr.Kaswala D, the led author said, " regular practice of Kapalbhati and Agnisar kriya along with PPI, patients with hiatal hernia had improvement in severe symptoms of GERD, which were initially refractory to PPI alone".

Kapalbhati and Agnisar kriya, are exercises in yoga lessons with an aim to in increased digestive system and metabolism.

Hiatal hernia is an abnormality of stomach in induced acid backs up into the esophagus, causing acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux (GERD). In most cases, surgery is necessary, if patients do not response to heartburn and acid reflux.medication.

Additionally, in a case study of a 14-y-old girl who had two surgeries for gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) and continued with chest and abdominal pain, as well as vomiting, difficulty eating, weight loss, and anxiety assigned to 4 months of Iyengar yoga, researchers at the University of California after taking into account of her symptoms which had not been improved with treatments by specialists over an extended period of time, found that
1. Yoga intervention expressed a significant improvement of chest and abdominal pain, and vomiting, difficulty eating, weight loss, and anxiety.
2. Yoga participated improved school attendance, sleep, socialize, or eat, and physical functioning
3. After 4-mo treatment of Iyengar yoga, patient have resumed activities and re-engage with her environment

Iyengar, a form of Hatha Yoga emphasized on detail, precision and alignment in the performance of posture (asana) and breath control (pranayama), according to some yoga instructors, the practice has a pronounced effect in reduced system of digestive disorder and promoted energy restoring.
Dr. Evans S., the led author said, "(The purpose of this report is) to stimulate scientific study of this form of treatment for children and adolescents with chronic pain".

There was a report that Iyengar yoga restorative poses with gentle strength-building poses have slowly increased symptoms of GERD of a adolescent girl.

Mrs Beth Sternlieb, a yoga instructor at the UCLA Pediatric Pain Clinics suggested that, iyengar yoga lessons implication not only reduced intake of medication but also improved her medical complications after medication withdrawal.

Taking altogether, there is no doubt that yoga may be used as integrated form of physical exercise in reduced symptoms and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.

The use of plants for healing purposes have been predated long before the existence of modern medicine. Herbal plants have formed a fundamental source for conventional medicine in discovery of single ingredient medication, including aspirin (from willow bark), quinine (from cinchona bark), and morphine (from the opium poppy)......

Green tea showed to inhibited or exhibited kidney function in toxin elimination in deteriorated renal function in patient with chronic renal disease, studies proposed.

Renal Disease is an impaired function in toxin elimination for more than a specific time as a result of kidney damage or injure.

Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine ,or food, long term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory. Adding a slice of ginger will be helpful to solve the problem.

In mice fed with a powdered diet containing green tea polyphenolic extract (0.1%) starting 3 days prior to CsA treatment (25 mg/kg, i.g. daily for 3 weeks).showed a decreased renal nuclear DNA-encoded oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) protein ATP synthase-β (AS-β)by 42%, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-encoded OXPHOS protein NADH dehydrogenase-3 (ND3) involved oxidize nutrients for energy conversion by 87%.

Flavanols (polyphenols) are rich phytochemicals isolated from green tea, particularly in the expression in form of most bioactive flavanol EGCG.

Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) protein ATP synthase-β (AS-β) plays a key role in energy production and regulated the generation of free radicals, and apoptosis through respiratory chain.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-encoded OXPHOS protein NADH dehydrogenase-3 (ND3) in reduced risk of gene mutation through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS).

Dr. Rehman H, the lead author said," Green tea polyphenols markedly attenuated CsA-induced renal injury and improved renal function. Together, these results demonstrate that green tea polyphenols attenuate CsA-induced kidney injury, at least in part, through the stimulation of MB".

In support of the efficacy of green tea for treatment of renal disease, the study of F40 rats randomly divided into 4 groups. Group 1 acted as control; group 2 received contrast medium (intravenous iodixanol, 10 mL/kg, as a single dose); group 3 received contrast medium and then green tea extract for 3 days (10 mg/kg/d, intraperitoneal); and group 4 first received green tea and then contrast medium, researchers showed that group treated with green tea had significantly higher overall scores than the control group.

Treatment group also expressed a significant improvement in progression of renal degeneration caused by nephrotoxicity of contrast media. 

Unfortunately, according to the joint study lead by the China Medical University,  inhibited the elimination of indoxyl sulfate (IS) and p-cresyl sulfate (PCS), a highly protein-bound nephro-cardiovascular toxins in CRF rats.

Catechin, is another major chemical constituent isolated from Green tea (GT) and a popular beverage in China.

Indoxyl sulfate(IS), a circulating uremic toxin has found to associate to the development of glomerular sclerosis and interstitial fibrosis.

P-Cresyl sulfate (pCS) is also an uremic toxin generated by intestinal bacteria
which has an implication to worsen outcome of patients with chronic kidney disease and increased cardiovascular burden.

Furthermore, green tea injection of catechin.in experiment mice also showed a significantly increased the levels of serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), an indication of further kidney damage after ingestion of green tea catechin.

Dr. Peng YH, the lead author said, "GT inhibited the elimination of nephro-cardiovascular toxins such as IS and PCS, and deteriorated the renal function in CRF rats".

Taking together, the conflict results of green tea in expression of chronic renal disease may be due to study design, the group sample, the subject selection doses administration,........., therefore patients with renal disease should be consult with specialists before taking.

Yoga as an integrated form of exercise may be used for treatment of panic and anxiety disorder in combined with standard treatment, epidemiological studies suggested.

Panic and anxiety disorder is a mental condition characterized by recurrent unexpected panic attacks. of  sudden periods of intense fear inducing palpitations, sweating, shaking, shortness of breath, numbness, or a feeling that something really bad is going to happen.

Yoga, the ancient technique practice for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been best known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

In the study of total of 20 subjects diagnosed with panic disorder, randomly assigned to both experimental groups: Group 1 (G1-Yoga: 10 subjects) attended yoga classes and Group 2 (G2-CBT + Yoga: 10 subjects) participated in a combined intervention of yoga practice followed by a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) session, reesarchers filed the following results
1. Both group displayed a statistical analysis in reduction of anxiety levels associated with panic disorder, panic-related beliefs and panic-related body sensations
2. The combination of yoga and CBT (G2) showed a better reductions in all observed parameters in compared to only yoga group.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a psychological method of treatment to eliminate conception of negative patterns of thought about the self and the world,particularly in patients with depression.

Dr. Vorkapic CF, the lead author, after taking into account of other con-founders said, "... improvements in different mental health parameters after the practice of contemplative techniques alone or combined to psychotherapy" and "(Understanding) joining psychological and physiological variables could help better elucidate the mechanisms through which mind-body practices work to improve mental health".

In deed, yoga improved psychological and physiological variables of patients with Panic and Anxiety Disorder may be attributed to the increased level of gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, a chemical in the brain in regulated nerve activity. Thus reducing psychological aspects in related mood and anxiety disorders..

According to the Emory University, gamma-aminobutyric acid can be considered as neural basis of fear acquisition, the mechanisms of fear inhibition or suppression


Other, in the review of literature published on quality of life in panic disorder from 1980 to 2010 on database of MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and PubMed, indicated that yoga intervention in combination of standard treatment may ameliorate substantial quality of life  impairments in panic disorder, improve mental and physical health.....and be used as post-treatment in enhanced quality of life (QOL) in these group of patients.

Dr. Davidoff J, the lead author went even further to suggest, " understand the nature of comorbidities in panic disorder (PD) as well as to determine whether additional interventions that have been studied in other psychiatric disorders, such as exercise, meditation, yoga, humor, massage, and nutritional supplements, can be utilized to improve QOL in PD to normal community levels.

Interestingly, in the reviewed literature published on PubMed in English up to December 2012 to evulaute the effect of complementary and alternative therapies in panic and anxiety disorder, researchers also found that
1. Data based illustrated that depression evidence base is significantly larger than anxiety disorder
2. Yoga was considered as levels 3 line of treatment of patients with panic and anxiety disorder due to the quality of available evidence.

Taking altogether, there is no doubt that yoga may be considered as an adjunct exercise in combined with standard therapy for treatment of panic and anxiety disorder.

Regular drinking of beet juice may have a profound effect in reduced risk and treatment of hypertension, a recent study suggested.

Hypertension is a condition of abnormal high blood pressure in the blood stream, considered as a major syndrome in increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Beet, best known as the beetroot or garden beet is a perennial plant with leafy stems growing to 1–2 m tall, belongings to the amaranth family

In a randomized crossover study of 24 subjects aged 25-68 years old divided into two groups with one group took raw beet juice (RBJ) for 2 weeks and the other group took cooked beet (CB). After 2 weeks of treatment, both groups had a washout for 2 weeks then switched to the alternate treatment, researchers after taking into account of other co founders found that both groups showed a remarkable in reduced blood pressure but significantly higher in beet juice subjects.

Dr. Asgary S1, the lead author said, " (Beside ameliorated blood pressure,) more improvement was observed in endothelial function and systemic inflammation with RBJ compared with CB".

Endothelial function plays an important role in ensured proper blood circulation in and out of the heart. Endothelial dysfunction is an abnormality of inner lining of blood vessels.

Systemic inflammation is an over production of inflammatory cytokines through immune response in activation of the innate immune system.

The study also addressed that beet juice and cooked beet attenuated hypertension may be resulted of a complex system involved  regulation of pro inflammatory and antioxidant expressions.

Furthermore, in the study of the effect of beetroot juice concentration in 24 overweight older participants given either the beetroot juice concentrate or blackcurrant juice group, with a 1-week post supplementation phase (week 4) for 3 weeks, scientists suggested that beetroot juice concentrate showed a strong inhibition of daily systolic BP after 3 weeks in compared to blackcurrant juice treatment group,

Systolic BP is the measurement of the maximum arterial pressure in stage of contraction of the left ventricle of the heart.

However,  the efficacy of beet juice in reduced BP can not be sustained after the interruption of the supplementation intake at 1 week followup.

Dr. Jajja A, the lead author said, "In overweight older subjects, beetroot juice concentrate supplementation was associated with beneficial effects on daily systolic BP".

Additionally, according to the joint review of the database included 85 older participants (age range: 55-76 years) of 2 trials with an open-label, parallel design in compared to  2 trials with a cross-over, double-blind design, researchers insisted that the efficacy of beet juice in reduced blood pressure may associate to age of subjects, as well as the expression of in-nocturnal mean.

The finding evidences demonstrated that  beet juice may be considered as a functional food in lowering high blood pressure.

Yoga as an integrated form of exercise may have a profound and positive effect in reduced risk and treatment of irritable bowel syndrome(IBS), epidemiological studies suggested.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disease affecting the large intestine, including symptoms of cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and diarrhea or constipation.

Yoga, the ancient technique  for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been best known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

In a randomized controlled trials to compare the efficacy of yoga with usual care, nonpharmacologic, or pharmacologic interventions for patients with IBS through reviewing literature published on databases of MEDLINE/Pubmed, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, CAM-QUEST, CAMbase, and IndMED up to November 2015, after selected studies satisfied the criteria and guidelines, researcher filed the following results
1. Yoga participants expressed a significantly beneficial effect over conventional treatment in IBS,
2. Yoga intervention demonstrated a significantly decreased bowel symptoms, IBS severity, and anxiety.
3. Yoga group displayed an improved quality of life and physical functioning in compared to other treatment groups.
4. Yoga group also showed a little or no adverse effects in the selected studies

Conventional treatment of most common pharmacological approaches is to manage symptom of pain and digestive disorders due to significant side effects induced by prescribed medications.

Dr. Schumann D, the led authors said, " The findings of this systematic review suggest that yoga might be a feasible and safe adjunctive treatment for people with IBS". However, after taking into account of other con founders, he continued, " no recommendation can be made regarding yoga as a routine intervention for patients with IBS because of major flaws in study methods".

Further analysis into the study of total of 51 participants of adolescents (14-17 years).randomly assigned to a standardized 6-week twice weekly Iyengar yoga group-based program or a wait-list usual care control group, conducted by the University of California, scientists filed the results as follow
1. Yoga group showed a significant improvement of improved physical functioning
2. I compared to control, yoga participants also reported significantly improved IBS symptoms, global improvement, disability, psychological distress, sleep quality, and fatigue
3. 46% of YA reported a minimally clinically significant reduction in pain
4. At the end of the intervention, YA group in postlesson also reported a reduction of worst pain, constipation, and nausea.

 After taking into account of other confounders, Dr. Evans S, the led author indicated, "The findings suggest that a brief IY intervention is a feasible and safe adjunctive treatment for young people with IBS, leading to benefits in a number of IBS-specific and general functioning domains for YA" and "yoga interventions may be most fruitful when developmentally tailored".

Further studied illustration of 35 adult participants meeting ROME III criteria for IBS enrolled, 27 of the 35 participants (77%) completed treatment and pre- and post-treatment visits (89% women, 11% men; M (SD) age = 36 (13)), and 20 of the 27 (74%) randomly assigned to 16 biweekly group sessions of Iyengar yoga or a walking program and 6-month follow-up, found that
1. Yoga group showed an improvement from pre- to post-treatment when compared to control
2. Yoga group from pre- to post-treatment, also demonstrated significant decreases in IBS severity measures, visceral sensitivity and severity of somatic symptoms in compared to walking group.

At 6 months followup, researcher said, "overall GI symptoms for walking continued to significantly decline, while for yoga, GI symptoms rebounded toward baseline levels".

In fact, the efficacy of yoga in reduced symptoms of IBS can be attributed to the mediating effects of visceral sensitivity, increased psychospiritual resources, regulated autonomic nervous system responses and regulated hormonal stress response assessed via salivary cortisol, according to the University of California.

In simple English, yoga improved symptoms of treatment of patients with IBS through psychological symptoms, including improved mood , anxiety, depression measured scale, quality of life...... and physical symptoms, including getting rid of gas, reduced constipation, alleviated acid reflux......

The finding evidences suggested that yoga may be used as an adjunct intervention in assistance of standard therapy for treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Alternative Therapy: Yoga In Delay Aging Progression

Kyle J. Norton (Scholar, Master of Nutrients, All right reserved)


Yoga may have a profound and positive effect in delay aging process, some renowned institute studies suggested.

 Aging is a natural process of growing old.

Yoga, the ancient technique  for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been well known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

According to the study to explore the impact of yoga and meditation based lifestyle intervention (YMLI) on cellular aging in 96 healthy individuals randomly assigned to a 12-weeks of YMLI, at the end of 12 weeks of lesson, YMLI group expressed significant improvements in both the cardinal biomarkers of cellular aging and the metabotrophic biomarkers influencing cellular aging in compared to baseline values.

The efficacy of the program in reduced cellular aging process was attributed to the activities in decreased production of ROS and pro inflammatory cytokins and hormone cortisol, and increased mean values of telomerase activity in regulated aging process and hormone β-endorphin in reduced stress and maintain homeostasis.

Dr. Madhuri Tolahunase, the led author, after taking into account of other co founders, said,"Lifestyle is an integrated entity, and an intervention, like YMLI, that has overall positive influence on our health appears most useful versus changing only one aspect at a time, as is seen by action of certain drugs. Yoga is holistic and a mind-body medicine and is more beneficial and advantageous than individual interventions like physical exercise, caloric restriction, and antioxidants".

Other researchers, in the study of yoga breathing in protected skin against aging, filed the following results
1. Yoga breathing reduced psychological aspects of stress and anxiety which have been found to associate to promoted aging
2. Yoga also expressed an impact in regulated  advanced glycation end products (AGE) which have recently been shown to play a role in tissue aging 
3. Comprehensive yoga program including breathing and meditative exercises may have a profound effect in enhanced gene expression involving oxidative stress, DNA damage, cell cycle control, aging and apoptosis and
4. Detoxification

In further analysis, Dr, Beri K the led author said, "(Contract to general belief)The interesting correlation of insulin regulation and glucose control can be translated to improvement and maybe reversal of the effects on AGE protein accumulation in the body tissue".

In support of the above differentiation, Dr. Brown RP at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, launched an investigation of yoga breathing in delay aging process, suggested that
1. Yoga breathing (pranayama) can have a significant and positive effect in  bringing the mind to the present moment and reduce stress
2. Yoga breathing delayed the aging process through reduced expression of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and for victims of mass disasters.
3. The practices also relieved many forms of suffering.

Finally, after taking account of other risk factors, researchers concluded that yoga breathing can affect longevity mechanisms.

Taking altogether, Yoga used alone or combined with meditation may  have a therapeutic effect in delay aging through regulating cellular and psychological expressions.

Alternative Therapy: Yoga Intervention in Enhanced Smoking Cessation

Kyle J. Norton (Scholar, Master of Nutrients, All right reserved)
.

Good news for people who want to quit smoking, epidemiological studies suggested strongly that yoga intervention may have a profound impact in smoking cessation.

Yoga, the ancient practice for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been best known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

According to the joint study led by the Alpert Medical School of Brown University in examine the smoking-relevant characteristics of individuals enrolling in an 8-week randomized controlled trial, for testing yoga as a complementary treatment to standard smoking cessation, on the sample of 55% female, 86% non-Hispanic white, with a mean age of 46 years,
1. Males smoked more cigarettes/ day than females and had lower motivation to quit smoking
2. Females were more likely to smoke for weight control, social and mood-related reasons, and had higher expectations for the efficacy of yoga
3. Age was negatively associated with the presence of other smokers in the household, and smoking in response to negative moods
4. And Age was associated to more willing in quitting
After taking into account for other co founders, researchers said,"both males and females were interested in a program offering yoga as a complementary therapy for smoking cessation".

The results indicated that yoga may be considered as an integrated form of exercise to assist smoking.cessation.

Further discussion of smoking cessation, in a study to examine the rates of cessation among women randomized to either a novel, 8-week Yoga plus Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) smoking cessation intervention versus a Wellness program plus the same CBT smoking cessation intervention, scientists showed that after 8 weeks period
1. Innovative treatments are needed to address barriers as mentioned in the above study for a successful smoking cessation among men and women.
2. Yoga may be effective complementary treatment for smoking cessation
3. Yoga can offer an alternative to traditional exercise for reducing negative symptoms that often accompany to smoking cessation and predict relapse to smoking among recent quitters.

The results of finding suggested that Yoga plus Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are the better choice to improve smoking cessation outcome, in compared to yoga alone or standard treatments.

Additional analysis of the effect of yoga intervention in smoking cessation, researchers at the University of Cincinnati, conducted a review of literature published of database from MEDLINE (PubMed), EBSCOHOST, PROQUEST, MEDINDIA, CINAHL, Alt HealthWatch, and AMED between 2004 and 2013, suggested that 10 studies satisfied the criteria and guidelines selected have produced the following results
1. Yoga participation expressed a significant effect in improved quitting smoking rates in majority of studies
2. Yoga-based interventions hold a promise for smoking cessation

Unfortunately, all these studies also expressed some of  limitations including short follow-up measurements and short duration of intervention, Dr. Dai CL, the led author concerned

The finding evidences suggested that yoga adapted to smoker age, gender,...... and used in conjunction with standard treatment may have a profound effect in enhanced smoking cessation in short-term.
