Yog is a complete science which teaches us to live a healthy life and it has become all the more necessary in view of life style changes and sedentary living. The changed life style and changed food habits inlast 3-4 decades has increased the stress levels of people leading to various diseases like Diabetes, Hypertension, reduced Immunity etc. India has earned a dubious distinction of being ‘World Capital of Diabetes’ All this can be reversed and slowed down by following the doctrine of Ashtang Yog (a gift from our Saints) in our daily life, he said.
