Objective: The major goal of this research evaluation was to see if yoga therapy may help people with epilepsy manage stress. Introduction: Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that has a high psychological and physical toll. Self-reported seizures are frequently caused by stress, individual and many patients with epilepsy believe that reducing stress improves seizure management. Methodology: An electronic search of published research publications was conducted using Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and other databases, and the results were analysed to determine the effectiveness of yoga in the treatment of stress in epileptic patients." Based on inclusion criteria, few papers were included in the literature review like randomised controlled trials, systematic literature reviews, systematic reviews, Cochrane review, and pilot study. Results: This review looked at how yoga affects stress through multiple mechanisms and found that it helps epileptic patients reduce stress and improve their quality of life. Conclusion: This study found that yoga can be one of the alternative methods for reducing stress in epileptics. Yoga should be practised by epileptics to reduce stress and seizure frequency, as well as increase overall well-being. It doesn't have any negative side effects.

Obesity is a global epidemic. A rise in obesity has been fueled by the COVID–19 enforced lockdown, having a massive impact on health, leading to over-eating and poor diet and sleep, as well as a reduction in physical activity and exercise and loneliness, as there is a need to stay healthy, fit and stronger and rebuild some of the healthy habits. It is related to improved risk of illness and death with ideal body weight. Physical activities with modifications of exercise and calorie intake together are considered as cornerstones in the prevention and management of obesity. Genetic factors, lifestyle factors such as financial status, home, and working environment and social relationships, play significant roles in developing and modifying weight control. Periodic weight gain is common during such times as holidays, the COVID-19 lockdown, and winter months. This review includes the most important aspects of obesity management were discussed, such as diet and nutrition, physical activity and exercises, lifestyle and environmental changes. Adherence to lifestyle measures with healthy eating habits and more physical activity, around the home to be encouraged among people, to offset the resultant obesity is what we recommend them and also discover new ways of raising the spirits while isolated.

Introduction Digital eye strain is the physical discomfort felt after 2 or more hours in front of a digital screen, including cell phones. Digital eye strain is otherwise known as computer vision syndrome. Trataka is to look at or to gaze—it is a preliminary step for meditation that involves staring at a single point such as a small object, black dot, or candle flame. Objective This study aimed to analyze the effect of trataka kriya in the management of digital eye strain. Materials and Methods Thirty participants of the age group 18 to 40 years were recruited in the study. The study design was a pre–post experiment. A convenient sampling technique was used to recruit the participants. The study included participants who use laptops or smartphones for a minimum of 2 hours daily and also participants having eye strain, dry eyes, burning sensation in the eyes, headache, and eye fatigue. They performed trataka kriya exercises once a day on alternative days for 1 month. Outcome measures was a computer vision syndrome questionnaire to assess the visual fatigue experienced by the study participants and the Schrimer test to find out whether the eye produces enough tears to keep it moist. Statistical Analysis and Results Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 16.0. To compare the computer vision syndrome questionnaire and Schrimer test before and after interventions paired t-test was used. A p-value of less than 0.05 is considered significant for the study. Conclusion The study concludes that there was an improvement in the subjects with digital eye strain after performing trataka kriya. The clinical implication of the study is that this method can be used as one of the nonpharmacological interventions for digital eye strain.
