Document Summary
Abstract, conclusion and main points of the articles. Will be a bunch of true and false, multiple choice. Research suggests that asthma is not cured by yoga and arthritis has mixed reviews. Yoga posture should be based on individual abilities. Ex) if you"re recovering from injury, the type of yoga should focus on muscle strengthening. The different levels and techniques need to be applied to different people in terms of tailoring. Surgery for lower back pain results in short term relief, however yoga can provide relief for short and long term. Meditation can alter the brain structure and change behavioural habits and health. Many of the subjects were fooled and thought that the toothpicks were needles. Purpose is the similarity between the graphs in the 2nd video. The impact of the sham acupuncture was to reduce the usage of usual medication. In theory, the needle is very important for acupuncture.
