A recent joint study suggested that yoga participants with chronic lower back pain display a significant improvement on pain intensity in compared to non yoga treatment group.

Yoga is a 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.

Low back pain is a Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) of degenerative disc disease, affecting over 80% of the population in US alone some points in their life.with pain persisted for longer than 3 months,

In a randomized to either yoga or delayed yoga treatment of 150 military veterans in 2013-2015 with outcomes assessed at baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6 months, group attend yoga lessons expressed a greater reductions in Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire scores than delayed treatment participants at 6 months.

Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire scores (RMQ) is a questionnaire of 24-item patient-reported outcome and measurement about pain-related disability, in this case, it is lower back pain.

The study also found that treatment group displayed improved more on pain intensity and reduced opioid usage at 12 weeks and at 6 months in compared to delay group.

Opioid is a pain reliever with function to binds to one or more of the three opioid receptors of the body, thus reducing pain.

Dr. Groessl EJ, the lead author said, " Yoga improved health outcomes among veterans despite evidence they had fewer resources, worse health, and more challenges attending yoga sessions than community samples studied previously".

Other, in a parallel randomized controlled trial comparing yoga to education for 120 Veterans with chronic low back pain, yoga treatment group addressed a great positive effects in improved pain score measured by the Defense and Veterans Pain Rating after 24 weeks.

The Defense & Veterans Pain Rating Scale (DVPRS) is a graphic tool of 1-10 McGill pain scale, used to facilitate self-reported pain diagnoses from patients.

Furthermore, the study also found that continuous yoga participation after study not only benefits on physical pain but also showed improved psychological comorbidities.

In support to the above differentiation, the 95 adults recruited from an urban safety-net hospital and five community health centers comparing once-weekly (n = 49) versus twice-weekly (n = 46) standardized yoga classes supplemented by home practice study insisted that there was no differences between once-weekly and twice-weekly groups for pain reduction, but at the 12 weeks, groups with once-weekly or twice-weekly yoga classes exerted the similarly significant efficacy in pain reduction in both group of adults with moderate to severe chronic low back pain.

Truly, evidences in the working population with non-specific low-back pain participated in kundalini yoga at least two times a week, strongly support the effect of yoga in inhibited pain symptom with a significantly reduction in sickness absenteeism.

Kundalini Yoga (kuṇḍalinī-yoga), also known as laya yoga or "the yoga of awareness" is a form of technique used to build physical vitality and increase consciousness through movement, dynamic breathing techniques, meditation, and the chanting of mantras in aid concentration in meditation.


Taking together, yoga may be one of alternative treatment of ancient techniques having a potential effect in reduced pain in patients with lower back pain, please make sure you mention your specific limitation to your instructor before commencing.

 Yoga practicing may have a profound effect in improved immune function against foreign invasion, particularly in age-related immune suppression in elderly individuals

Immune function is a natural reaction of immune system in protected our body against from foreign substances, cells, and tissues through proper expression of immune response.

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 to evaluate the effect of yoga on mucosal immune function and mental stress with saliva samples collected from 23 adult women (age: 60.4 ± 10.4 years) before and after 90 minutes of yoga stretching or rest, researchers found that
1. Yoga group expressed a significant higher immunoglobulin A (SIgA)(a subclass of Immunoglobulin A (IgA) plays an important role in the immune function of mucous membranes)
concentration and secretion rate after yoga than before and in compared to control
2. The levels of cortisol( higher levels cortisol caused by stress has a negative effect in immune system) concentration and secretion rate were lower and testosterone(which plays an important role in immune function in reduced risk of autoimmune disease) secretion rate higher after yoga.

After further analysis and taking into account of other co founders, researcher said, " Yoga stretching can reduce stress and enhance mucosal immune function in elderly women."

Mucosal immune function is a first line of defense of immune system against antigens and infection and in regulated immune over reaction from unharmful sources.

According to general belief, yoga twist, compress and standing posts exercise play an important role in ameliorated alterations in the number of immune cells and cytokine dysregulation through lowering stress hormones production.

Additionally, the exercises also found to improve energy and energy balancing in the body which are necessary for immune system to function properly.

In the concerns of yoga expression in enhanced immune system through numbers of mechanism, researchers at the Daejeon University conducted a study in healthy adults, to highlight the beneficial effects of yoga practice on bio-parameters related to immune expression found that

1. Yoga group expressed a significantly reduced levels of relative oxygen species(ROS), including include peroxides, superoxide, hydroxyl radical, and singlet oxygen through regulating cellular metabolism in production of ROS which have been found to have a direct influence in T cells activation, apoptosis, and immune hypo responsiveness.2. Yoga group demonstrated  a improvement of immunity in increased levels of antioxidant in compared to control, through the effects of free radical scavengers in reduced cellular damage caused by over expression of ROS in inducing inflammation.
3. Yoga practice also significantly increased immune-related cytokines, such as interleukin-12, and interferon-γ,....which play an important role in reduced risk of inflammatory and auto immune diseases, including diabetes, atherosclerosis, rheumatic arthritis, and cancer.
4. The levels of plasma levels of adrenalin was reduced  and serotonin was increased in yoga group in compared with the control group.

Elevation of plasma levels of adrenalin caused by stress may suppress the immune system and increased levels of serotonin showed a opposite effect in increased killing ability of natural killer (NK) cells.
After taking into account of other co founders, Dr. Lim SA, the led researcher said, "Regular yoga practice remarkably attenuated oxidative stress (caused by imbalance of between the production of free radicals and antioxidants) and improved antioxidant levels of the body. Moreover, yoga beneficially affected stress hormone releases as well as partially improved immune function."
More importantly, in the review on the effects of yoga poses on psychological conditions including anxiety and depression, on pain syndromes, cardiovascular, autoimmune and immune conditions and on pregnancy., Dr. Field T, at the University of Miami School of Medicine, opinionated that yoga intervention induced the less production of cortisol, the hormone has a negative effect on immune system due to stress may indeed have a profound effect in enhanced immune cellular function, particularly in psychological conditions in regulating the autoimmune and immune conditions.

Taking altogether, There is no doubt that yoga practice may have a therapeutic effect in improved immune function against from foreign substances, cells, and tissues through numbers of mechanism involving different pathways.

Alternative Therapy: Yoga Posture Practice for a Healthy Pregnancy and Outcome

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

Yoga posture exercise may have a potential effect for a healthy pregnancy and outcome, some renowned studies suggested.

Posture is a state of holding the body still in a specific position, such as standing and sitting.

Yoga, the ancient practical 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 concerns of the adverse effect of yoga posture in pregnant women, researchers at the Jersey Shore University Medical Center filed the study of 25 healthy pregnant women with 10 assigned to regular yoga practice, 8 to familiar with yoga, and 7 with no yoga experience, matching age, race, body mass index, gestational age, and parity in each group, researchers found that
1. There was no change in maternal heart rate, temperature, pulse oximetry(the proportion of oxygenated hemoglobin in the blood in pulsating vessel), or fetal heart rate
2. The fetal heart rate across all 26 postures was normal.
3. There were no falls or injuries during the total cumulative 650 poses

Furthermore, after taking into account of other con founders researchers insisted that yoga posture also do not express a decreased fetal movement, contractions, leakage of fluid, or vaginal bleeding in the 24-hour follow-up.

Yoga postures have been found to ease back pain, indigestion, stress, and other pregnancy-related issues and to help you get smoothly through the next nine months.

However, some researchers suggested that some yoga postures must be avoid during pregnancy for the safety of mother and baby, such as inversions and prone postures which may have a potential in twisting your torso and close in on your belly, pressuring the belly,..... 

Pregnant women should discuss with their doctors before taking any class of yoga.

In support of yoga posture efficacy in reduced certain complications during pregnancy, Dr. Martins RF the lead author and colleagues at the UNICAMP School of Medicine, conducted a randomized controlled trial with 60 pregnant women (age range, 14-40 years) with report of lumbopelvic pain at 12 to 32 weeks of gestation from June 2009 to June 2011 assigned to the yoga group, practicing exercises guided by this method, and the postural orientation group, performing standardized posture orientation according to instructions provided in a pamphlet,  suggested that

1. Yoga group expressed a significant improvement of median pain score in compared to postural orientation group.
2. Both groups showed a decreased response in relation to posterior pelvic pain provocation tests and a gradual reduction in pain intensity during 10 yoga sessions.

After taking into account of other co-founders, researchers postulated  that although yoga group displayed a  a high score in reduced pain as indicated by the pain provocation tests, standardized posture orientation may also be considered as another form of exercise in improved pregnancy outcome.

In deed, according to Bec Conant, prenatal yoga instructor at Om Births and birth doula in Boston, (Yoga helps) women to develop strength, flexibility and confidence throughout their pregnancy and post-partum.

More interestingly, in the study of 335 women of 18 and 20 weeks of pregnancy attending the antenatal clinic at Gunasheela Surgical and Maternity Hospital in Bangalore, India, assigned to either (n=169)yoga postures and breathing, and meditation group and (n=166) or  control group, researchers found that yoga postures and breathing, and meditation group showed a higher birth weight and gestational age at delivery as well as lowering pregnancy complications such as isolated intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) (p < 0.003) and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) with associated IUGR (p < 0.025) in compared to control.

More importantly,there were no report of significant adverse effects noted in the yoga group.

Alternative Therapy: Yoga Induced Calmness Under Great Pressure

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

Yoga may be one of best practice to induce calmness for people who are at the state of constant pressure, some 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 the study of 13 normal healthy adults to determine the effects of alternate nostril yoga breathing on (a) cerebral hemisphere asymmetry, and (b) changes in the standard EEG bands by assigned the participants into three sessions (a) alternate nostril yoga breathing (ANYB), (b) breath awareness and (c) quiet sitting, on separate days, researchers showed that alternate nostril yoga breathing (ANYB) expressed a higher result in induced calmness through stress and anxiety reduction.

Yoga alternate nostril breathing exercise demonstrated a significant effect to individuals calmness under certain pressure, probably is a result in the settle the mind and body, and emotions and decreased expression of an overactive or worrying mind.

Interestingly, certain posts in the sequence culminating in Padmasana(Lotus Pose) have found to achieve a calm mind stage, according to yoga journal.

Other researchers suggested that yoga inner demonstration of calmness may also have an profound effect in healing process of the whole person--mind, body, and spirit. 

Dr. Ott MJ at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, said, "Formal and informal daily practice fosters development of a profound inner calmness and nonreactivity of the mind, allowing individuals to face, and even embrace, all aspects of daily life, regardless of circumstances".

In deed, yoga found the inner peace of participants through intimacy and ability to listen to the body even in sadness, grief and other festering emotions.

More importantly, in a study of 8 healthy male volunteers of the age group 25.9 +/- 3 (SD) years assigned to Santhi Kriya practice daily for 50 minutes for 30 days with volunteer's body weight, blood pressure, oral temperature, pulse rate, respiration, ECG and EEG were recorded before and after the practice on the 1st day and subsequently on 10th, 20th and 30th day of their practice, researchers at the end of the experiment postulated that there were a gradual and significant decrease in the body weight and an increase in alpha activity of the brain (P less than 0.001) during the course of 30 days.

Further analysis also suggested that increase of alpha activity both in occipital and pre-frontal areas of both the hemispheres of the brain indicated an increase of calmness.

More importantly, Santhi Kriya practice expressed an increases oral temperature by 3 degrees F and decreases respiratory rate significantly on all practice days.

Santhi Kriya yoga, a mixture of combined yogic practices of breathing and relaxation.

According to Dr. Richard P. Brown, Patricia L. Gerbarg, Philip R. Muskin in the book of
How to Use Herbs, Nutrients, & Yoga in Mental Health, Santhi Kriya total cortical  alpha activity in the brain is associated to relaxation calmness and awareness and the practice may be considered as an adjunct therapy to induce a state of greater relaxation.

Taking altogether, there is no doubt that people engaged in yoga lessons regularly are less likely to make wrong decision under pressure because of the result of yoga in expression of greater calmness.

In compared to conventional and herbal medicine; food therapy  takes even longer (sometimes more than six months) to ease symptoms, depending to stages of the treatment which directly address to the cause of disease.

Beet may hold a potential use as a functional food in reduced levels of fat and cholesterol in patient with hyperlipidemia

Hyperlipidemia is a medical condition characterized by high cholesterol and fat in the blood stream.

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

According to the study of rats fed with high fat diet induced hypercholesterol showed a significant reduced levels of fat and cholesterol through expression of liver protective effects by examined rat lipid profile of total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides and histopathological analysis of liver, after treatment with beetroot.

Lipoproteins are basically fat and cholesterol, along with a lipid membrane containing proteins called apolipoproteins with function to transport lipid molecules in blood stream and extracellular fluid.in our body.

Lipoprotein(a) or Lp(a) calculated by low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the blood stream from measured levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) may be an important marker for the risk developing of heart disease.

Other, in the double-blinded, placebo-controlled study of  patients older than 40 years, subjects instructed to take either the NO dietary supplement called Neo40 Daily® or placebo twice daily on an empty stomach for 30 days, NO dietary supplement group showed a significant increase in both plasma nitrite (P < .01) and nitrate with elevated triglycerides reduced by 72% in compared placebo group.

Nitrite is a group of chemical compound containing the anion NO2− and Nitrate has a chemical symbol of NO31-

Nitrates are relatively harmless, if they are  not taken in high amounts.

The study also emphasized the achievement of nitrite reductase activity of nitrate-rich beetroot juice in improven NO status, involving decreased and modify cardiovascular risk factors, including high levels of triglycerides in the circulatory system.

Also, in a randomized controlled 5-week crossover intervention, separated by a 3-week washout involved subjects (n = 25) aged 58.6 (1.1) years (mean and SD) with a BMI of 26.6 (0.5) kg/m(2) and a total cholesterol (TC) of 5.8 (0.1) mmol/L (mean and SEM) given a high fiber (HF) and low fiber (LF) diet, treatment of high fiber (HF) group, expressed a Significant reduction in C-reactive protein (CRP) and a significant reduction in fibrinogen.

Fibrinogen, is an essential protein for blood clot formation.

Although the study found no influence of beet fiber in contribution to lower of blood cholesterol but ameliorated the inflammatory effect in induced cardiovascular disease of hypperlipidemic patients.

More importantly, nitrates and nitrites occur naturally in vegetables and also used as preservative added to in many foods including meat products. Injection of high amount in the body may induce anemic-like disorders and cancers.

Taking together, whole food and nitrate-rich beetroot juice may have a potential effect in reduced risk high blood cholesterol inducing heart disease through elevated levels of antioxidants and hepo- protection.

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.
