New Delhi: Yoga may help improve cognition, reduce depressive symptoms and partially restore healthy gut bacteria in people with Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study by researchers at the AIIMS, Delhi.
The collaborative study by Departments of Anatomy and Neurology, published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease in June, found that a 12-week structured yoga programme was associated with significant improvements in cognitive performance and mood, alongside favourable changes in the gut microbiome of patients with mild Alzheimer's disease.
