The study did not focus on the calorie-burn of yoga, but rather on the way yoga influenced eating habits. In a survey of over 15,000 participants, researchers found that people who participated in a minimum of one 30 minute yoga session once a week either maintained or lost weight over a 10 year time frame.
A transient ischemic attack (TIA) occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain stops for a brief time. A person will have stroke-like symptoms for up to 24 hours. In most cases, the symptoms last for 1 to 2 hours.
'Mini-Stroke' (TIA). A transient ischemic attack, often called a mini-stroke, is more like a close call. Blood flow is temporarily impaired to part of the brain, causing symptoms similar to an actual stroke. When the blood flows again, the symptoms disappear. A TIA is a warning sign that a stroke may happen soon.
