Ans: I have already answered this question in detail; please look it up in the previous queries. In terms of postures, it is best when yoga is combined with breathing exercises, so please make time for both. Here are a few options to consider - Child Pose (Balasana), Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana), Legs up the wall pose (Viparita Karani), Corpse Pose (Savasana), Diaphragmatic Breathing (Adham Pranayama), Sectional Breathing (Vibhaga Pranayama), Alternate Nostril Breathing (Anulom Vilom), 4-7-8 breathing and Bhramari. Please note you should always listen to your body and not practice anything that feels uncomfortable. It is also good to check with a physician before starting any new exercise routine.

Ans: Practice Anulom Vilom pranayama daily and gradually increase time

Ans: To control glucose levels and manage diabetes, yoga can be highly beneficial, as it helps improve insulin sensitivity, balance blood sugar levels, and enhance overall well-being.

Specific Yoga Poses for Glucose Control:
Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose): Stimulates the pancreas and improves blood circulation.
Dhanurasana (Bow Pose): Strengthens the abdominal muscles and improves insulin production.
Vrikshasana (Tree Pose): Enhances balance and reduces stress, which is important for controlling blood sugar levels.
Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend): Stretches the pancreas and aids in glucose metabolism.
Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation): A sequence of poses that enhances overall body function and improves glucose utilization.
In addition to these, Pranayama (breathing exercises) like Anulom Vilom and Bhastrika are excellent for managing stress and improving lung and heart function, which indirectly helps control blood sugar levels.

Incorporating these practices into a daily routine, along with dietary and lifestyle changes, can support better glucose control and overall health.
