Asanas for organs affected by diabetes

A major contributing factor that aggravates diabetes is not enough physical activity. Exercise helps to reduce the level of blood sugar. Yogic asanas not only tone and exercise the body, but the different postures stretch internal organs so that there is increased blood supply to these areas and their functioning improves.  For diabetes, an exercise program is essential, and in this article and the next three articles, I have given you asanas to do, which not only exercise the body but are very beneficial for the internal organs and glands affected by diabetes. Do these regularly and you will feel the results.

Caution: Those with slipped discs, sciatica, should avoid or take care when doing exercises one and two.  Those with high blood pressure or heart problems should avoid exercise three.
