Role of Mind-body Medicine in Diabetes|Dr. Vaishali Deshmukh

This event is for General public

The global prevalence of diabetes is rapidly increasing; approximately 537 million adults in the 20-79 years age group are affected worldwide. The adverse effects of physiological and emotional stress on blood glucose control are well known. Mind-body therapies, such as meditation, yoga, qi-gong, and other relaxation techniques, have been studied for reducing stress-related hyperglycemia. Structured meditation programs, such as transcendental meditation and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), train participants in focused attention and diaphragmatic breathing to regulate cortisol and stress hormones. Other relaxation therapies involve progressive muscle relaxation, biofeedback, and various behavioral stress management techniques, such as guided imagery.
