YOGA INTERVENTION WITH DIETARY GUIDANCE FOR WEIGHT CONTROL AN OBSERVATIONAL CLINICAL STUDY ASSESSING THE IMPACT ON OBESITY

Abstract

As obesity emerges as a global health crisis, this study explores a novel approach to address its multifaceted challenges. Integrating yoga intervention with dietary guidance, our research aims to comprehensively understand their collective impact on obesity. Grounded in ancient practices, yoga's synergy with modern dietary strategies presents a unique lens for weight control. Our study distinguishes itself by proposing a nuanced adjustment in the intake format, offering a fresh outlook on obesity management. Employing a pre-post evaluation study, Yoga group participants exhibited a substantial decrease in BMI (p < 0.0001) and weight (p < 0.0001), contrasting with the control group. The visual representation underscores yoga's potential efficacy in promoting healthy weight management. The study contributes to the evolving landscape of integrative approaches for obesity management, suggesting personalized interventions for further exploration in diverse populations. This research marks a significant step towards holistic weight control strategies, combining ancient wisdom with contemporary insights.
