EFFECT OF INTEGRATED YOGA MODULES AND SATVIC DIET ON SELECTED RISK FACTORS AMONG MEN CANCER PATIENTS

Abstract

Yoga's remarkable benefits for the body and mind become apparent over time. The goal of the current study was to determine how a satvic diet and combined yoga modules affected particular risk factors in male cancer patients. For the study, forty male cancer patients were split into two groups: the control group and the experimental group. Twenty male cancer patients made up the experimental group. For six weeks, the Pawanamuktasana sequence, asana, pranayama, meditation, and relaxation were practiced by the control group, which did not receive any kind of training. The psychological variable (General Mental Alertness) was measured both before and after the experiment using standardized assessments. After analyzing the data using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), it was determined that among male cancer patients, the Pawanamuktasana series, asana, pranayama, meditation, and relaxation had a significant (P < 0.05) impact on the psychological variable (General Mental Alertness).
