Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of combined yoga and naturopathy on triglycerides among stressed individuals. To achieve this objective, thirty stressed individuals were selected from Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu, India, during the year 2019. The participants' ages ranged from 25 to 35 years. The subjects were divided into two equal groups of 15 participants each: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group underwent a combined yoga and naturopathy program for six weeks, while the control group did not participate in any specific training during the study. Triglyceride levels were measured using the triglycerides analyzer method (blood test in a lab). A pre-test was conducted before the training period, and a post-test was conducted immediately after the six-week training period. A statistical ‘t’ ratio was used to analyze the pre-test and post-test data of both groups. The results revealed a significant difference in triglyceride levels due to the combined yoga and naturopathy intervention in the experimental group compared to the control group.
