| contents | <p><em><span>The human body is a natural habitat for various types of microorganisms. Approximately ~3.8 × 10¹³ microbial cells (≈ 38 trillion) exist in the human body. These microbes, living normally in the human body and having positive effects on human health, are known as the “normal microbiota”. Microbes specifically living in the human gut have abundant positive effects on human health. The human gut microbiota plays a very important role in maintaining physiological homeostasis through the microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis and other mechanisms. Change in the microbiota (dysbiosis) is being recognised to have roles in metabolic, immunological, and neuropsychiatric conditions. This study aims to investigate the effects of yogic practices like <span>Asana, Pranayama</span>, and <span>Dhyana</span> on the gut microbiota composition and function through a scientific literature survey. Emphasising recent literature, we give an indication that yogic practices have positive effects on restoring microbial diversity, modulating inflammatory markers, and modulating gene expression. We integrated the findings of key studies to show that Yoga, in combination with traditional Indian dietary practices, is an effective therapeutic adjuvant for gastrointestinal and overall health.</span></em></p> <p> </p> |
