Yoga, mazoezi ya jumla ambayo inazingatia uhusiano wa akili na mwili, ni ya manufaa kwa kusimamia mkazo<\/a>, kuongeza kumbukumbu na kupunguza dalili za magonjwa sugu kama vile arthritis. Utafiti mpya umegundua kuwa yoga kama tiba ya ziada inaweza kusaidia wagonjwa wa kushindwa kwa moyo kuboresha ubora wa maisha yao na kazi ya moyo na mishipa.<\/p>\n

Kushindwa kwa moyo, pia inajulikana kama kushindwa kwa moyo kushindwa, ni ugonjwa wa moyo na mishipa wakati moyo unashindwa pampu<\/a> vizuri, na kusababisha mkusanyiko wa maji, upungufu wa pumzi na matatizo mengine.<\/p>\n

Hali hiyo inaathiri takriban watu wazima milioni sita nchini Merika, kulingana na Vituo vya Kudhibiti na Kuzuia Magonjwa (CDC<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Ili kuelewa faida za yoga kwa wagonjwa wenye kushindwa kwa moyo, watafiti kutathminiwa<\/a> Watu 75 wamelazwa katika kituo cha afya katika sehemu ya kusini mwa India. Washiriki wote walikuwa katika Daraja la III la mfumo wa uainishaji wa utendaji kazi wa NYHA (Chama cha Moyo cha New York), ambao hukadiria ukali wa vikwazo vya shughuli za kimwili, huku Daraja la I likiwakilisha mapungufu madogo na Daraja la IV kuwa kali zaidi.<\/p>\n

Kati ya jumla ya washiriki, 35 walipokea tiba ya yoga, pamoja na tiba iliyoelekezwa kwa mwongozo, huku wengine wakipokea tiba iliyoongozwa na mwongozo pekee. Kikundi cha tiba kilifundishwa mbinu zilizochaguliwa kama vile pranayama, kutafakari na mbinu za kupumzika. Walifanya mazoezi hayo angalau siku tano kwa wiki kwa muda wa miezi 12.<\/p>\n

Wakati wa ufuatiliaji, watafiti walipima afya ya moyo ya washiriki wote kwa kutumia vigezo vya echocardiographic. Ili kupima mabadiliko katika ubora wa maisha, timu ilitumia dodoso la ubora wa maisha la Shirika la Afya Ulimwenguni. Washiriki waliulizwa kujaza dodoso mwanzoni mwa utafiti, katika wiki ya 24 na baada ya wiki 48 za ufuatiliaji.<\/p>\n

Watafiti waliona maboresho katika uvumilivu, nguvu, usawa, utulivu wa dalili, ubora wa maisha na kazi ya moyo na mishipa katika kikundi kilichotumia yoga kama tiba ya ziada.<\/p>\n

"Katika ufuatiliaji wa miezi sita na 12 uboreshaji wa kazi ya systolic ya biventricular ilionekana katika kundi la kuingilia kati (yoga) ikilinganishwa na kundi lisilo la kuingilia kati. Kikundi cha kuingilia kati pia kilionyesha uboreshaji mkubwa katika matokeo ya utendaji kama ilivyotathminiwa na uainishaji wa NYHA," watafiti walisema katika taarifa ya habari<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Utafiti huo uliwasilishwa katika kongamano la Chuo Kikuu cha Marekani cha Cardiology Asia 2023 nchini Ufilipino.<\/p>\n

"Yoga ni mchanganyiko wa mbinu za mwili wa akili, ambayo ni seti ya mazoezi ya mwili [asana] yenye mbinu za kupumua [pranayama], utulivu, na kutafakari ambayo inaweza kutumika kwa ufanisi ili kuchochea ustawi wa kimwili na kiakili," walisema mwongozo wa utafiti. mwandishi Ajit Singh, mwanasayansi wa utafiti wa Baraza la India la Utafiti wa Matibabu katika Chuo cha Matibabu cha Kasturba na Hospitali.

A new study has found that yoga as a complementary therapy may help heart failure patients improve their quality of life and cardiovascular function.Heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure, is a cardiovascular disease when the heart fails to pump properly, leading to fluid buildup, shortness of breath and other complications.The condition affects around six million adults in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC).To understand the benefits of yoga on patients with heart failure, researchers evaluated 75 people admitted to a healthcare center in the southern part of India. All the participants were in Class III of the NYHA (New York Heart Association) functional classification system, which rates the severity of physical activity limitations, with Class I representing mild limitations and Class IV the most severe.Out of the total participants, 35 received yoga therapy, along with guideline-directed medical therapy, while the rest received only guideline-directed medical therapy. The therapy group was taught selected techniques like pranayama, meditation and relaxation techniques. They practiced them at least five days a week for 12 months.During follow-ups, researchers measured the heart health of all participants using the echocardiographic parameters. To measure the changes in quality of life, the team used the World Health Organization's quality of life questionnaire. Participants were asked to fill out the questionnaire at the beginning of the study, at 24 weeks and after 48 weeks of follow-up.Researchers saw improvements in endurance, strength, balance, symptom stability, quality of life and cardiovascular function in the group that used yoga as a complementary therapy."At both the six- and 12-month follow-up improved biventricular systolic function was seen in the interventional (yoga) group compared to the non-interventional group. The interventional group also showed substantial improvement in functional outcomes as assessed by the NYHA classification," researchers said in a news release.The study was presented at the American College of Cardiology Asia 2023 conference in the Philippines."Yoga is a combination of mind-body techniques, which is a set of physical exercises [asana] with breathing techniques [pranayama], relaxation, and meditation that can be effectively used to stimulate physical and mental well-being," said study lead author Ajit Singh, research scientist for the Indian Council for Medical Research at Kasturba Medical College and Hospital.
