How Yoga Has Helped Me Manage Chronic Fatigue
Shortly after my fortieth birthday something changed in my body! I couldn’t identify what was wrong but I knew that something was just not right. I was living in Australia and I was fitter than I had ever been. I was running fifty kilometers a week, lifting weights, cycling, and doing BodyCombat. My body was a temple and I treated it as such, putting almost no sugar into her, very little alcohol, didn’t smoke or take drugs, and got a good eight hours of sleep each night.

TYPE 2 DIABETES: A DEBILITATING DISEASE
Diabetes is a debilitating disease which is linked to multitude of other health problems like heart disease, kidney failure, blindness or more which may require lifelong care and rehabilitation if left uncontrolled. It not only affects physical health but deterioration of the general well-being of a person. According to a medical dictionary, type 2 diabetes is a condition characterized by high blood glucose levels caused byeither a lack of insulin or the body's inability to use insulin efficiently. Type 2 diabetes develops most often in middleaged and older adults but can appear in young people.[4] Insulin is a hormone secreted by pancreas to control blood sugar. When our body’s insulin isn’t able to signal properly then the glucose (sugar) from the food stays as it is and may remain too high. It is a disease marked by high glucose levels in the blood and impaired metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, caused by the body's inability to respond effectively to insulin, combined with inadequate production of insulin by the pancreas. The disease,which can occur at any age but typically develops in middle-aged and older adults, often begins with no symptoms, is associated with obesity and inactivity, and may be managed, depending on severity, with dietary changes, an exercise regimen, and oral or injectable medications. Type 2 diabetes is also called non-insulin-dependent diabetes or non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.[5].
