Yoga and inflammation

A study from Ohio State University found practising yoga regularly may help lower the level of cytokine in the blood. This chemical compound contributes to inflammation in the body.  Its level normally rises because of stress and ageing but the study suggests yoga practitioners have lower levels and respond less strongly to daily stressors.
