• HEART DISEASE -

Madhavbaug’s non-invasive heart treatments are designed to prevent and treat complex heart disease at different stages of the disease. These evidence-based researched treatments help patients to not only heal their condition, but also strengthen the heart and improve quality of life.

• DIABETES -

Diabetes cases in the country have increased due to drastic change in lifestyle, unhealthy eating habits and high stress levels. People with diabetes are 2 to 4 times more likely to suffer from heart disease or a stroke as compared to those who do not have diabetes. A Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) over 125 is indicative of diabetes while a result that is between 100 and 125 indicates prediabetes – the precursor stage before diabetes. Over 90% of newly-diagnosed diabetics are above their ideal weight. A 5-10% decrease in body weight can not only help reduce diabetes symptoms but also lowers the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease.

Madhavbaug’s diabetes management program is based on a combination of proven Ayurvedic therapies, yoga, and lifestyle modifications. Customized exercises also help to reduce fat accumulation on liver which reduces insulin resistance and stabilizes blood sugar levels, while Ayurvedic and yoga treatments support the insulin production and reduce insulin resistance. Madhavbaug’s programs for diabetes has helped reverse diabetes symptoms for several patients who enjoy a full and healthy life today.

• HYPERTENSION -

The prevalence of high blood pressure has risen by approximately 8% in the last decade. This trend is mainly because of urbanisation as it fosters poor eating habits, a sedentary lifestyle, and low levels of physical activity which are the main causes of hypertension. Madhavbaug recognizes the 4 stages of hypertension and treatments are accordingly based on the severity of the condition.

Madhavbaug’s holistic approach to blood pressure management includes changes in lifestyle, diet, and exercise along with Ayurvedic treatments and yoga. It is found that aerobic exercise can reduce blood pressure by 4-9 mm Hg while the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet is linked to an 8 mm Hg reduction in blood pressure levels. Ayurvedic and yoga therapies augment the body’s natural healing and self-repair abilities to help treat and prevent hypertension. Madhavbaug’s treatments rely on science-based approach to blood pressure management and can provide same benefits as conventional hypertension medications without the risk of side effects.

• OBESITY -

Currently, over 20% of all Indians under 50 are either obese or overweight with obesity affecting up to 70% of the populations in our biggest cities. This trend indicates that lifestyle factors are likely to be the main reason for the increase in obesity in India. A Body Mass Index (BMI) between 25 and 30 indicate that the individual is overweight while a BMI over 30 is considered obese.

Madhavbaug’s obesity management program helps reduce body weight which in turn lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes, cholesterol, and high blood pressure. These programs are based on individualized diet and exercise plans along with Ayurvedic treatments and yoga. A healthy weight loss plan that provides a 10% reduction in body weight can translate to a 5 mmHg decrease in blood pressure, a 5 mg/dL increase in HDL (good) cholesterol, and a 40 mg/dL decrease in triglycerides. Ayurvedic and yoga therapies have a synergistic effect and increase the benefits of these holistic weight loss treatment programs.
