All four groups of subjects received the same regular Yoga training; subjects were asked to practice pranayama and followed the diet of raw vegetables, fresh fruits and different salads as combination. All the subjects were under observation for 15 days with regularly BP and sugar level were monitored. Data were expressed as mean ±S.D. of 10 subjects in each group and the results were statistically evaluated using Wilcoxan‘s paired signed rank test.
