Alternative Therapy: Yoga in Regulated Lipid Metabolism

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

Yoga therapy may have a profound effect in improved lipid metabolism, thus reducing risk of early onset of  dyslipidemia, some studies suggested.

Lipid metabolism  is a natural process of our body in break down or storage of fats for energy after consumed food. 

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 self-as-control study of 36 male healthy volunteers between age group of 30-58 years assigned to yoga therapy with validated questionnaire and divided into Vata-Pitta (n = 16) and Pitta-Kapha (n = 20) groups, researchers indicated that

1. Group with Vata-Pitta (V-P) displayed a significant decrease in the levels of TC, LDL (p < 0.001) and significant increase in HDL (p < 0.01) in compared to While, Pitta-Kapha (P-K) group with significant decrease in TC (p < 0.001), TG (p < 0.01), LDL (p < 0.001) and VLDL (p < 0.05) levels.
2. In compared to the P-K group, the levels of baseline levels of TC, TG and VLDL were lower in V-P group 

The result showed that both yoga intervention have had a positive effect in promoted lipid metabolism but lesser in the Pitta-Kapha group.

Dr. Doddoli S the led author said, "yoga practices can effectively regulate lipid metabolism and total body energy expenditure with reference to specific constitutional type".

Additionally, in a prospective, randomized, interventional controlled trial recruited 90 adolescents aged between 15 and 18 years met the Rotterdam criteria for PCOS assigned to yoga group practiced suryanamaskara, asanas, pranayama, and meditation 1 hour per day each day for 12 weeks and group practiced conventional physical exercises acted as control, after taking into account of other con founders, researchers suggested
1. Both groups reported a significant effect in fasting insulin, fasting blood glucose, but significantly different in homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance.
2. Yoga group expressed a positive effect in all aspects in lipid metabolism

Further analysis, researchers insisted, "(Yoga is) more effective than conventional physical exercises in improving glucose, lipid, and insulin values, including insulin resistance values, in adolescent girls with PCOS independent of anthropometric changes".

More importantly, in the investigation of yoga therapy in reduced risk lipid peroxidation, scientists postulated that yoga practice decreased oxidative stress through expression of lower concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, involving autoxidative alterations of fats and oils.

Taking altogether, yoga not only have a profound effect in reduce levels of bad cholesterol but also improved lipid metabolism in reduced over expression of lipid peroxidation.

**** Food Therapy: Maternal Coffee and Coffee Caffeine Intake in Risk of Poor Child Cognition and Behavior?(Revised)

By Kyle J. Norton

Food therapy is a slowly recover but effective method used in traditional medicine to ease symptoms and treatment of diseases, depending to stages of the treatment which directly address to the roots of the cause without inducing adverse effects.

Epidemiological studies do not agree that coffee and coffee caffeine intake during pregnancy may have a negative impact in child cognition and behavior.

Coffee, second to green tea is a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, made from roasted bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

Caffeine, a chemical stimulant found abundantly in caffeinated products, including tea and coffee is a class of methylxanthine having a profound impact in central nervous system (CNS).

Cognition and Behavior is a group of neuro function involving sensation and perception, learning and memory, attention, mental imagery, conceptual presentation, language expression, emotion response, motor control,.....

In the study of examine maternal serum paraxanthine at <20 and ≥26 weeks' gestation with the child's intelligence quotient (IQ) and problem behaviors at ages 4 and 7 years among 2,197 mother-child pairs, researchers showed that paraxanthine, a structurally related to caffeine.and caffeine's primary metabolite concentration has a significantly inverted effect at ≥26 weeks' gestation with child's IQ at age 7 years.

And at <20 weeks, paraxanthine also expressed a linearly associated with internalizing behavior at age 4 years.

Paraxanthine is a caffeine metabolite and central nervous system (CNS) stimulant processed a similar potency equal to that of caffeine.

Interestingly, after taking into account of over a range of values applicable to most pregnant women, researchers indicated that coffee caffeine in contribution to serum paraxanthine concentration showed no significant effect in association with childhood IQ or problem behaviors.

Contrast to the healthy mothers, women's reported coffee intake per day during pregnancy was associated with lower child's behavior rating scale (BRS), a complete overview of child and adolescent concerns and disorders, ratings in anemic children. Even with inclusion of other contributing factors and after anemic children given appropriated treatment, coffee consumption continuously showed a poor child cognition and behavior.

The Behavior Rating Scale (BRS) is an assessment frequently used by experts in assessment of the development of child cognition and behavior in infants and children, including autism.

Dr.Engle PL, the lead author said, " The effects of postnatal coffee ingestion in Guatemala were seen for sleep duration, but not for cognitive development. Prenatal coffee ingestion was negatively associated with behavior rating scales".

Taking altogether, coffee caffeine intake during pregnancy may not have any meaningful effect in association to children cognitive development and measurement by behavior rating scales, excluding anemic children. But caffeine as a neural stimulant, may have a negative impact in brain function by altering fetal normal neural transmission during stage of brain development, some researchers concerned.

Yoga participants are found to benefit from decrease levels of all kinds of physical, emotional, vocational, and academic stress, a renowned institute study suggested.

Yoga is an ancient practical technique of India, included breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture,..... with an aim to achieve harmonization of the body, mind, and spirit.

Stress is a normal reaction when a person comes under pressure or threat, as expression of sudden surge of hormone adrenaline. Prolong stress is found to exert physically, emotionally and mentally negative expression in various aspects, including sleep disturbance, digestive disorders,....

In a feasibility study explored engagement and effectiveness of a systematic 10-week yoga program aimed at university faculty, staff, and students, individual, researchers found that group attended yoga class displayed a significant improvement in cope with perceived stress and psychological, behavioral, and physical symptoms of stress, after 10 weeks.

Dr. Brems C, the researcher said, " The study demonstrates feasibility of a yoga intervention in an academic setting and provides preliminary evidence for efficacy in stress reduction."

Furthermore, according to the Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System, yoga learners not only benefits from stress reduction but also experience the decreased anxiety and improved sleep and improved quality of life.

According to yoga instructors, there are many ways in yoga poses in reduced stress cause of negative outcomes.

1. Yoga in relax the body
By relax your body, yoga created a state calm, thus reducing tension caused by the stress event

2. Yoga for your mind

The emptiness stage of your mind provided you time and a clear mind to rethink the stress event in positive ways.

3. Yoga breathing 

The slow and peaceful breathing in yoga reduced tension caused by stressful event and creates a control of psychophysiological states of relaxation

4. Connection between mind and body
By creating the stage of harmonization in the mind and body, yoga lead us to the stage existed in the present moment and connected mindful, conscious and connected way in solving stress.

In a pilot study, nine nurses participated in 6 weekly sessions of yoga nidra to measure of sleep, stress, and muscle fatigue in psychiatric nurses, researchers found that 6 weekly sessions of yoga nidra results in positive perception of stress level and muscle fatigue.

Yoga nidra is s form of yoga, using deep relaxation and meditation to create a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, like the "going-to-sleep" stage with an aim to improved patients sleep.

Additionally, yoga also demonstrated a positive effect in alleviated stress during pregnancy, according to the The University of Tokyo study.

In recruited 60 healthy primiparas without complications, attended yoga classes twice a month and to practice yoga at their homes using DVD 3 times a week from 20 gestational weeks until childbirth, measurement of hormone and alpha-amylase concentrations related to stress showed to decrease significantly with increased scores of vigor for a positive dimension of mood.

High levels of alpha-amylase concentrations is highly associated to psychosocial stress. and
salivary alpha-amylase activity is often considered as surrogate markers of sympathetic activation in response to stress.

Therefore, participated in yoga class may be a potential source in reduced risk of mental disorders  and enhanced fetal growth in pregnant women, as well as promoting stress alleviation in healthy adults

**** Food Therapy: Coffee, the Gout Killer Functional Food(Revised)

By Kyle J. Norton


Good News for coffee lovers, coffee consumption daily is associated to reduced risk and treatment of
chronic and recurrent gout, some institute studies proposed.

Gout mostly effected one joint, is an acute and recurrent condition of arthritis as a result of uric acid building up in blood, inducing joint inflammation.

Coffee, becoming a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roasted bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

According to the joint study lead by the Central South University, in the review literature of PubMed and EMBASE databases, up to April 2015, out of total of 11 observational studies (6 cross-sectional, 3 cohort and 2 case-control studies), coffee consumption showed a significantly inverse association with incidence of gout.

The study also found out that the efficacy of coffee consumption in reduced risk of gout showed no significant difference between the highest and the lowest coffee intake in terms of serum uric acid (SUA) level.

Uric acid, a normal product in the metabolic breakdown of purine may have a major effects in induced gout expression if secreted in high dose. 

According to general belief, high blood concentrations of uric acid can lead to gout development and numbers of medical conditions including diabetes and the formation of kidney stones.

Additionally, in the total of 45,869 men with no history of gout at baseline with intake of coffee, decaffeinated coffee, tea, and total caffeine evaluated in every 4 years, participants in returned questionnaires indicated that increasing coffee intake was (1-3, 4-5, and > or = 6 cups per day) inversely associated with thvee risk of gout depending to numbers of cups consumed daily.

Caffeine, a chemical stimulant found abundantly in caffeinated products, such as tea and coffee is a class of methylxanthine having an impact in central nervous system (CNS), depending to volumes of intake.

The relative risk of gout incidence in coffee drinkers is as low as .41 in compared to non coffee consumed participants.

Most importantly, the total caffeine levels from all sources, including coffee and tea intake showed no associated risk of gout.

Other researchers, in the finding of gout developed, suggested that coffee intake of 4 to 5 and >/=6 cups daily lower risk of gout in compared to no intake (0.26 mg/dl and and 0.43 mg/dl respectively) and total caffeine from coffee and other beverages and tea intake were not associated with serum uric acid levels.

Also, according to the data from 14,758 participants ages >/=20 years in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988-1994), coffee consumption is associated to ameliorated serum uric acid level and hyperuricemia frequency.

Hyperuricemia is excess of uric acid in the blood stream passing through from liver. Normally, uric acid is excreted during intestinal process. 

According to Dr. Davide Grassi, the lead author in the study of Chronic Hyperuricemia, Uric Acid Deposit and Cardiovascular Risk, said "Hyperuricemia is commonly associated with traditional risk factors such as dysglicemia, dyslipidemia, central obesity and abnormal blood pressure, i.e. the metabolic syndrome."

In deed, the effects of coffee in reduced risk gout may be attributed to the presence of coffee components of chlorogenic acid and antioxidants activities in reduce blood levels of insulin which have been found to associated linearly to levels of uric acid.  In other words, insulin levels are low, uric acid tends to be lower, too.

Finally, If you are coffee lovers, as always, we recommended that you do not add sugar and high-fat dairy creams in your drinks.

Taking together, coffee consumption is associated to attenuated risk and treatment of gout caused by elevated serum uric acid level, depending to numbers of cup intake daily. But please do not totally depend on you coffee habits solely to lower gout risk and also take into account of other eating habits as well.

According to the Patanjali Yogpeeth, obese patients participated in a 6 days yoga lesson showed a significant decreased the BMI, the fat-free mass and total cholesterol.

Yoga, one of the technique used in Ayurvedic Medicine, a system of healing that originated in ancient India, for encouraging self healing through expression of internal and external well  beings, may have processed a potential efficacy for obesity controlling, the study filed in PubMed suggested.

Obesity is a medical condition of excess body fat accumulated overtime with BMI index over 30.  According to statistic, over 68% of US population are either over weight or obese.

According to general belief, obese individuals are susceptible to a number of health conditions and complications, including cardiovascular problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, accelerated atherosclerosis, diabetes, various types of arthritis, stroke, chronic lower back pain, (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis) non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,........

Yoga, the ancient practice for harmonized external and internal body well being, 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 total of 47 persons assessed on the first and last day of a yoga and diet change program, with 6 days of the intervention between assessments, yoga combination with diet showed a decrease in BMI (1.6 percent), waist and hip circumferences, fat-free mass, total cholesterol (7.7 percent decrease), high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (8.7 percent decrease), fasting serum leptin levels (44.2 percent decrease) and an increase in postural stability and hand grip strength.

Fasting serum leptin level is an analysis to measure the rate of the storage of fat, found in connective tissue, or adipocytes. In obese, levels of serum leptin are higher in compared to normal weight individuals, according to the Temple University School of Medicine.

The study also indicated that intensive yoga program with a change in diet may pose certain risks but benefits are found substantially out weight the concerns through better postural stability, grip strength, reduced waist and hip circumferences and a decrease in serum leptin levels as well as enhancing obese's determination to yoga learning and participation.

In deed, the nonrandomized, single-arm interventional study conducted from August 2012 to March 2015 at Integral Health Clinic, Department of Physiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India insisted that patients who engaged in yoga exercise of all kinds not only improved quality of life and health after short-term yoga-based lifestyle intervention but also exhibited physical, psychological well being in both male and female subgroups.

These benefits are also extended to decreased significantly body weight, BMI, total body fat, waist and hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and fasting glucose in obese participants.

Furthermore, in a randomized controlled trial with parallel groups (Yoga and Control groups) on 80 male obese with Body Mass Index (BMI) between 25 to 35 kg/cm2 divided into two equal groups in which 72 subjects (yoga n = 37 and control n=35) completed the trial, yoga group showed a impressive improvement in anthropometric and psychological parameters such as waist, percentage body fat, PSS in the final outcome in compared control after 14 weeks of yoga training with additional yoga practice for the next 3 months.

Taking altogether, obese patients participated in yoga lessons showed a significant change in obese control through physical and mental well beings expression of that may lead to weight loss and reduced complications.

Yoga respiratory exercises consisted of rapid forced expirations followed by inspiration through the right nostril, inspiratory apnoea with generation of intrathoracic negative pressure, and expiration through the left nostril may have a strong and positive effect in enhanced pulmonary function, some institute studies suggested.

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..

In a review of literature published on the database from Alternative Health Watch, the Physical Education Index, Medline,(®) and the SPORTdiscus to investigate the effect of yoga in increased lung function of healthy individuals, researchers found that most studies expressed an over all improvement of yoga intervention in lung function measured by maximum inspiratory pressure, maximum expiratory pressure, maximum voluntary ventilation, forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, and peak expiratory flow rate.

Maximum inspiratory pressure is a marker of respiratory muscle function and strength generated against an occluded airway beginning at the volume of air present in the lungs at the end of passive expiration.

Maximum expiratory pressure, is a measure attained by a patient attempting to exhale into a closed system.
Maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) is a measure of maximum of air inhaled and exhaled within one minute.

Forced vital capacity (FVC) is the amount of air forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath.

Forced expiratory volume (FEV) is a measurement of air a person can exhale after taking a forced breath.

Peak expiratory flow rate is a measurement of maximum speed of expiration, measured by a peak flow meter,

After taking into account of other con founders, researchers emphasized
1. The positive effect of lung function can only be achieve with yoga class offered at least 10 weeks practicing yoga breathing exercises.
2. Interestingly enough, less-fit individuals showed a greater improvements in pulmonary functioning compared to healthy individuals
3. Greater achievement also depended in length of yoga engagement

Other researchers in support of yoga exercise in improved lung function also conducted a prospective open-label study of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), recruited from among those followed at the neurology outpatient clinic of a university hospital in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. randomized assigned to breathing exercises three times a day for 10 months, found that in 26 completed the study, yoga breathing exercises resulted in a significant increase in airway resistance in (FVC) and first measurement of Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1).

Airway resistance in rate of (FEV1/FVC) measured by spirometry is much lower in patients with pulmonary disease in compared to healthy individuals.

More importantly, in the study to compare pulmonary functions and diffusion capacity in patients of bronchial asthma before and after yogic intervention of 2 months with 60 stable asthmatic-patients  randomized into two groups i.e group 1 (Yoga training group, n=30) and group 2 (control group, n=30), researchers after taking into account of other con founders filed the following results
1. Yoga group showed a significant effect in over all lung function improvement, according to the assays in Transfer factor of the lung for carbon monoxide (TLCO), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1st sec (FEV1), peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) and slow vital capacity (SVC) in compared to control
2. Yoga participated group also improved quality of life

Dr. Singh S, the led author said, "pranayama & yoga breathing and stretching postures are used to increase respiratory stamina, relax the chest muscles, expand the lungs, raise energy levels, and calm the body".

Taking altogether, tt is safe to recommend yoga as a secondary therapeutic therapy in combined with standard treatment in improved pulmonary functions in healthy individuals and patients with pulmonary disease.

***Alternative Therapy: Yoga In Regulation of Glucose Metabolism(Revised)

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

Glucose metabolism is a natural process of our body to convert carbohydrate intake into energy.

Yoga practice may have a positive and profound impact in improved glucose metabolism, thus reducing risk of early onset of diabetes. 

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 prospective, randomized, intervention controlled trial with 90 adolescents aged between 15 and 18 years who met the Rotterdam criteria for PCOS. assigned either to yoga group practiced suryanamaskara, asanas, pranayama, and meditation 1 hour per day each day for 12 weeks or practiced conventional physical exercises, researchers found that

1. Yoga intervention group expressed a similarly significant improvement in fasting insulin, fasting blood glucose in compared to control and

2. In  homeostasis model assessment, yoga group showed a strong impact in insulin resistance in compared to control

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome(PCOS) is an endocrinologic diseases among reproductive-age women caused by undeveloped follicles clumping on the ovaries that interfere with the function of the normal ovaries and associate to an increased risk for metabolic disorder.

Homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) is a method used to measure the levels of insulin resistance and beta-cell function.

After taking into account of other co founders, Dr.Nidhi R, the lead author said, "Yoga was found to be more effective than conventional physical exercises in improving glucose, lipid, and insulin values, including insulin resistance values, in adolescent girls with PCOS independent of anthropometric changes".

Interestingly, in a study to examine possible changes of brain metabolism due to Yoga meditation with PET scans performed in 8 members of a Yoga meditation group during the normal control state (C) and Yoga meditative relaxation (YMR), scientists indicated that

1. There were no change for intergroup comparison, particularly in specific focal changes or changes in the interhemispheric differences in metabolism
2. However the ratios of frontal vs. occipital rCMRGlc were significantly elevated during YMR

PET scan used a special dye with radioactive tracers in the imaging test allows your doctor to examine a specific disease in your body.

Frontal vs. occipital rCMRGlc is one of linear ventricular measurement to evaluate ventricular size in pediatric hydrocephalus patients for glucose metabolic rates in the brain.

Further analysis also suggested that yoga intervention may have a regional glucose metabolism through expression of a slight increase of frontal rCMRGlc and a more pronounced reduction in primary and secondary visual centers.

More importantly, in a controlled trial within an university-affiliated hospital. 173 Chinese men and women aged 18 or above were assigned to either the yoga intervention group (n = 87) or the control group (n = 86) found that throughout analysis involving the entire study population revealed that the yoga group achieved greater decline in fasting glucose in compared to control.

After considering of other con founders in the study, researchers opinionated that A 12-week Hatha yoga intervention improved glucose and lipid metabolic risk profiles and HRQoL in Chinese adults with and without MetS.

Taking altogether, Yoga may be used as a therapeutic intervention in reduced risk of abnormal glucose metabolism, thus reducing risk of diabetes.
