Yoga Put to the Test for Headaches, Diabetes, Osteoarthritis, and the Elderly

32 Risposte a “Yoga Put to the Test for Headaches, Diabetes, Osteoarthritis, and the Elderly”

1. 💕

2. Why is anything after 1:34 even covered? This is coming from someone who is a fan of yoga and a fan the Doc.

3. Headaches coq10, osteoarthritis treating biofilm and right nutrition?

4. what about indian amla studies? also suspect?

5. Yoga is so unbelievably overrated. If you want to increase mobility, weightlifting for a full range of motion is much more efficient and effective. If you want to improve heart health, do zone 2 and 5 cardio. If you want to increase bone, tendon, cartilage, etc density and strength, weightlift. If you want improve mental health too, pick up a team recreational sport. Also, what the heck? Did the man so obsessed with diet where the effect sizes in the literature for diet are several times smaller in benefit compared to exercise just accept people simply doing yoga instead of other exercise? Lastly, this reminds of Ashwagandha literature. The literature in Asia goes to deep into basically saying it prevents cancer, while Western literature that is more transparency and rigorous show it just may reduce stress.

6. Set and Setting. Folks in countries where the treatment is more traditional are also very much more likely to believe that the procedure/process/act has value and THEREFORE things may indeed work better there than elsewhere. This is the power of the mind and is ALSO what empowers placebo cures (believe in it and it works in some validated cases).

7. “Headaches, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and the elderly”: are “the elderly” a disease?

8. There is also the possibility that the indians are better at doing yoga correctly. I've seen many a gymnastics/streaching class advertised as 'yoga' that had little to nothing to do with the real yoga. Yoga is a complex thing.

9. i consider my 25 minutes/day dynamic leg/hip/back stretches to be fascia maintenance but if i don't do it i will not sleep a full night without waking up, so it has something to do with making me tired enough to sleep – it hurts so it's probably engaging some repair mechanisms

10. Sham yoga? Did i hear that correctly? Chair yoga is sham yoga? 😮😢

11. I have both Diabetes type 2 and Charcot Marie Tooth disease. Furthermore, I've had debilitating pain and swelling in my knee for weeks at a time. Yoga is a miracle for me. My knees feel better, and I haven't had pain or swelling since I started doing 20 to 60 minutes of yoga every day. I feel stronger because I am supporting my own body weight in many of the poses, such as plank, side plank and up dog. My balance is improving and my reaction time to my right foot dropping and tripping me up is improving too. The right foot drop is because of CMT disease. I am able to catch myself faster because of the yoga practice and not fall as often. I am 65 years old, and the practice of yoga also makes it possible for me to continue to get up from the floor. So, I take "your opinion" with a grain of salt because in my experience yoga works for me!

12. Yoga helps relieve stress, improves mobility and balance. These are are important for everyone and especially as we age.

13. Wow….another one of these vids with TONS of info in it……and the takeaway is not that easily retained…….as there are many moving parts here LOL! …..so it appears yoga is beneficial its just a matter of moving to India or watching this video 20 times to retain exactly what it is helpful and not helpful……I will say, I could see yoga being good for flexibility and of course better than doing nothing LOL!…and it probably does strengthen certain muscle groups depending on what yoga position you do……anyway, perhaps someone will be kind enough to do a recap of the pros and cons of yoga from this vid…..very interesting content as always….

14. I wonder if this applies to Turmeric trials and other indian herbs.

15. Don't ignore the PLACEBO EFFECT. If you strongly believe the treatment works, often it does.
    I used to suffer from migrane, my dad gave me some tabs that cured him permanently and they cured me too !
    When I wanted to help a EMAIL-FRIEND with the same problem, my dad told me they were antacids and he still had migrane.

16. You gotta also try the exercises in The Eye of Revelation (Peter Kelder's account of the original Five Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation) from Borderland Sciences Research Foundation (1989). Also: Rex E Wiederanders' Biotonics (1977). Nice and simple exercises for a busy schedule. 🙂

17. 👍

18. This is exactly the problem with Tom Freiden's CDC telling Americans to mutilate thr genitals of their baby boys

19. I wonder how much more likely drug studies are to have positive results in the United States of Big Pharma.

20. There are hundreds of types of Yoga. In fact, Asana, the postures, is just one of the eight limbs of yoga. And as far as Asana yoga goes, there are dozens of styles. Everything from therapeutic yoga to hot power yoga. I’m curious what they are measuring when they say they are measuring Yoga.

21. But there are so many forms of yoga including more meditation focused sessions and flow yoga which is more cardio

22. Keep in mind yoga is meditation in motion. For long term practitioners, it's as natural and vital as walking and breathing. These videos are giving the impression that it needs to be debunked as a pseudoscience when it is a spiritual practice that is sacred to many including myself. What's next? The placebo of praying?? Not everything should be reduced to a statistical analysis.

23. I imagine research done in the US is also biased toward traditional Western medicine. Yoga helped me lose 20 lbs during the pandemic. I walk too but the yoga is more vigorous and much more of a full body work out.

24. I love yoga, I have been doing it for years. On days I don't to yoga I feel tight and stiff. I practice 4 to 5 days a week. It helps me with running and ballroom dancing. I would think it is very hard to study yoga because there are many types of yoga. I practice yen and night to sleep and vinyasa to get my day going and feel more mobile and balanced.

25. Interesting! Good points of caution too 🙂 thank you <3

26. Real test would be replicating yoga trials done in India with positive outcomes in western setting and finding the efficacy of the original study…

27. @sedickemery668 There we have it. Even Greger os calling your beloved yoga out as utter quackery.

28. Maybe they are just doing it better in India. I don't know but maybe in India you have to study and practice Yoga for 10 years until you can teach someone and in other countries you have a degree within 3 months.
    And we need to consider that it could be biased on both sides (India AND the rest)
    Side note: I don't do Yoga and have no opinion on it other than it is probably better than doing nothing.

29. I would suggest that the placebo effect might be at work in these countries. These practices are accepted as standard practice and expected to work in those cultures and so they get the boost of the placebo effect.

30. Bad news about my good habits 😅

31. I'm a little disappointed that a chanel that talks big about the benefits of plant based diet doesn't know that Yoga is not asana, Yoga is not just the physical exercise, Yoga is (I believe) the longest lifestyle philosophy to actually indicate plant based diet as a means to preserve your health. Maybe instead of being biased towards a study conducted in India the chanel could consider that in India people actually do Yoga as Yoga, including the diet, the meditation, the breathing exercises, the many mantras and mudras and bandhas and cleaning practices and maybe that's why it works better in India. Because people there know what Yoga is. I am sure a lot of good Yoga teachers can be everywhere (Yoga is considered Human Treasure by the UN) but it's not everywhere that you can convince people to stop eating meat or give up violence as a way of life. India is not better than anywhere else but I believe yogis in India have a better chance of knowing the whole thing and adopt a plant based diet even if that's not required by the study.

32. Porque se manifiestan las cefaleas especialmente al dormir poco, o ejercicio intenso moderado o continuo? Gracias ( thanks).
