Sugar patients can also keep fast during Navratri, know which yoga during fasting will help you skip the insulin dose

Fasting during Navratri is a centuries-old tradition. Fasting is not only connected to faith but also health and the good thing is that the principle of ‘Ekabhuktam Sadarogyam, Dvibhuktam Balvardhanam’ has now started being accepted even in Western countries. The ‘University of California’ applied this principle of Ayurveda to patients with ‘metabolic syndrome’ and soon saw its benefits. You must be wondering what this metabolic syndrome is. When blood sugar, BP, and cholesterol become imbalanced in the body due to bad eating habits and wrong lifestyle, then the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes increases, and this medical condition is called metabolic syndrome. Fasting can prove to be more effective than medicine in the disease. Staying hungry for 17 hours will balance the glucose level. The pancreas becomes more active due to an empty stomach and this increases the production of insulin which helps in reducing blood sugar. Not only this, it also makes it easier for the liver and muscles to regulate blood sugar. Resting the body’s machinery also helps the body to restore energy.

This formula works when you are a patient of high sugar. But if your sugar level is low, then fasting can cause your glucose level to dip, due to which you suddenly start sweating a lotyour , hands and legs start trembling, weakness is felt anyour heartbeatat becomes fast. Therefore, keep these things in mind before fasting. Its simple meaning is that if the sugar level increases too much, then there is a problem and if it decreases, then there is also a problem. In such a situation, how should those more than 20 crore people who are diabetic or pre-diabetic keep fast? Let us know from Swami Ramdev how sugar will be controlled by fasting and yoga because the scientists of allWesternn countries have also started accepting the principles of Ayurveda.
