Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of heart disease risk factors such as high blood pressure, obesity and high blood sugar."

"In the second study, published online December 19 in BioMed Central Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Dr. Anette Kjellgren from the University of Karlstad, Sweden and colleagues evaluated the beneficial effects of yoga-like breathing exercises on healthy volunteers.....At the end of the study period, feelings of anxiety, stress and depression were significantly lower and levels of optimism significantly higher in the yoga group compared to the control group...probably due to an increase in antioxidants and lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol, they suggest."
