Medical researchers at the University of Rochester discovered that yoga has a powerful positive effect on inflammation in cancer patients. The 2023 trial studied 500 cancer patients who attended twice-weekly yoga or health education classes for a month. Results showed that those practicing yoga had “significantly lower levels of pro-inflammatory markers” compared with patients in the education group. The researchers’ conclusion: “Clinicians should consider prescribing yoga for survivors experiencing inflammation, which increases risk of progression, recurrence and second cancers.” Read more here.
