ABSTRACT
Background: Yoga is considered to be very good exercise for maintaining proper health and also satvik diet is pure vegetarian it gives calm, peaceful, serene, amicable, full of energy, enthusiasm, health, hope, aspirations, creativity and balanced personality of each and every individuals. Aim: During recent years a lot of research work has been done to show the beneficial effects of yogic practices. The present study was undertaken to assess different model yogic practices packages with satvik diet on lung functions parameters among underweight rural school boys. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted 50 underweight rural school boys who came voluntarily as subjects for the project with written consent. Underweight of the subjects was determined based on the
BMI. The subjects who were having less than BMI of 18.5 kg/m2. Their age ranged between 14 to 16 years. The first phase of recording of the lung functions parameters was done at the beginning of the course. The second phase of the recording was done after 6 weeks of the regular yogic practices with satvik diet various lung function parameters tests were measured. Results: VC, ERV, BHT and PEFR were found to be increased in underweight rural school boys.
Conclusion: There was a statistical significant increase in all the above lung parameters in the regular yogic practitioners. Different models of yogic practices with satvik diet can be used as a lung strengthening tool to treat many lung disease like asthma, post pneumonia, allergic bronchitis and tuberculosis recoveries and many occupational diseases.
Keywords: Yogic practices, Satvik Diet, Lung function, Underweight, School boys.
INTRODUCTION:
Yoga is a science practiced in India over the lots of years. Yoga exercise usually consist of Asana (posture- a unique position of the body which contributes to steadiness of physique and mind), Pranayama (to manipulate the respiration in a top-quality and extra-ordinary way to get maximum benefits.) and meditation. It produces consistent physiological modifications and have sound scientific basis (K.S. Gopal et al 1973). In latest times, medical fraternity is a good deal attracted toward recommended consequences of Yoga. We are nicely conscious of the reality that any kind of exercise done regularly is really useful to the body. Yoga is considered to be a very appropriate exercising for maintaining proper health and also has a profound effect on the lung functions of an individual. It is claimed that yogic practices assist in prevention, control and rehabilitation of many respiratory illnesses (L. N. Joshi 1992). The five principles of yoga are relaxation, exercising (asanas), pranayama (breathing control), satvic food is specially rich in prana (life
force) that strengthen and balances our physical and mental digestion - the basis for overall health and happiness. satvick diet, advantageous wondering and meditation. These types of yogic practices that amplify the capability of lungs (P.Shyam karthick et al 2014). Satvik food like water, apples, apricots, walnuts, beans, berries. If you suffer oxygen deprivation then it can be serious to your fitness main to serious respiratory illnesses and conditions inclusive of pneumonia, COPD and asthma. These ailments attack the lungs inflicting respiration difficulty. A top way to keep your lungs healthful is by consuming a wholesome diet. A healthy food plan is long time period funding to a better lifestyle. In view of this, the present study used to be undertaken to see whether yoga with satvik food plan has any impact on lung functions, which depend on compliance of lungs and thorax, airway resistance and strength of respiratory muscles. The present work was planned to find construction of different model of yogic practice packages with satvik diet on selected lung function parameters among underweight rural school boys.
Aim and objectives:
Effect of pranayama on pulmonary functions in adults has already been studied through a number of researchers. And some of the learn about has been find out the massive effect due pranayama with suryanamaskar to respiratory functions. The primary purpose of this study exploratory analysis is to study the construction of different model of yogic practice packages with satvik diet on selected lung function parameters among underweight rural school boys.
Materials and Methods:
Fifty underweight rural school boys of the subjects were determined based on the BMI. The subjects who were having less than BMI of 18.5 kg/m2 under the age 14-16 years from Alagappa matriculation higher secondary school, Karaikudi were involved in this study under voluntary basis. The study was performed after obtaining approval from the institutional ethical committee and informed consent
from all the subjects. Student who had already gone through yoga training, students with any disorders, students who had gone through any surgical operation are abstained from this study. This study was conducted in the alagappa university campus they were given yogic practices with satvik diet for six weeks. They were instructed to 35-45 minutes daily under the guidance of a yoga instructor. Lung function parameters such as Vital capacity (VC), Expiratory reserve volume (ERV), Breath holding time (BHT) and Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) were assessed before and after six weeks of yogic practices with satvik diet. The instrument used was Medspiror Pneumotachometer .The procedure was explained in detail and trials were given after demonstration of forced expiratory maneuver and maximum ventilatory volume maneuver. All the students were tested is sitting position. The results were compared using paired ‘t’ test. SPSS software is used for all statistical analysis.
Experimental protocol:
The following yogic practices with satvik diet were given to the subjects daily for six weeks.
Surya Namaskar, Nadisuddi, Kapalbhati, Bhastrika, Bramhari, Pranava Pranayama, vibhagiya pranayama, Paripurna Navasana, Utthita Parsvakonasana, Chaturanga Dandasana, Pachimottanasana, Purvottanasana, Urdhva Mukha Svanasana and Virabhadrasana students were given various yogic practices for 35-45 minutes daily for six weeks. Satvik diet sprouted croups, whole grains, legumes and grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, legumes, seeds and nuts, cow’s milk dumplings, ghee, honey, and naturally made herbs mix share a large proportion of the fruits natural diet. Students took these types of eating habits daily for six weeks.

Results:
The end result of the study proven the beneficial different model yogic practices with satvik food regimen on lung functions. The post readings of parameters such as VC and ERV are extended notably (p<0.005) following yogic practices with satvik diet. This suggests that is some degree of bronchodilatation which is main to higher oxygenation of the alveoli. The publish yogic practice with satvik food regimen readings of BHT and PEFR peak expiratory flow rate would possibly be a consequence of small airway opening in lungs are also statistically increased results are shown in Table I.
Discussion:
All the parameters exhibit statistically enormous improvement with regular practice of yoga with satvik diet. These effects can be explained on the following basis:
Yoga training improves the strength of expiratory as properly as inspiratory muscle groups (Madan et al 1992). Bhastrika Pranayama is a bellows kind
respiration in which one breath forcefully and rapidly and thus, workout routines inspiratory as nicely as expiratory muscles (Subbalakshmi et al 2005).
There has been a case document (Johnson et al 2004) of occurrence of pneumothorax with exercise of Kapalabhati pranayama but there was once no such occurence in our study. Yoga strengthens the respiratory musculature due to which chest and lungs inflate and deflate to fullest possible extent and muscular tissues are made to work to maximal extent. Abdominal breathing makes use of the diaphragm and performs respiratory with least effort. While, chest breathing makes use of intercostal muscle tissues (chanavirut et al 2006).
Conclusion:
After six weeks yogic practices with satvik food regimen the readings of VC, ERV, BHT and PEFR exhibit substantial increase. From the present study we may additionally conclude that yoga exercise can be recommended to enhance lung ductions in wholesome humans and subsequently to prevent respiratory illnesses in future. These really useful effects of different model yogic practices with satvik food regimen can be used as an adjuvant therapy for many diseases. The daily practice should also be components of bodily health and life style change applications in preserving better bodily and intellectual health. Yogic practices improves lung function parameters, increasing chest wall growth and pressured expiratory lung volumes.
