Randomized controlled trial improved pulmonary function and reduced lung carcinoma risk in participants, indicating lifestyle benefits.
Background: Pulmonary diseases, including lung carcinoma, are major health concerns globally. Yoga and Vitamin D have been hypothesized to improve pulmonary function and potentially reduce the risk of lung cancer. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effects of a combined intervention of yoga practices and Vitamin D supplementation on pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and their potential in lowering the risk of lung carcinoma. Methodology: A total of 50 participants were included in this randomized controlled trial. Participants were divided into two groups; one received a combined treatment of yoga sessions and Vitamin D supplementation, while the control group received no intervention. Baseline and postintervention PFTs were measured, and biomarkers for lung health and potential cancer risk were analyzed. Results: The intervention group showed significant improvement in PFT outcomes compared to the control group. There was also a noticeable decrease in markers indicative of lung cancer risk among those who received the combined treatments of yoga and Vitamin D. Conclusion: The findings suggest that integrating yoga and Vitamin D supplementation may enhance pulmonary function and could contribute to lowering the risk of lung carcinoma. These results highlight the potential of lifestyle interventions in pulmonary and oncological preventive health strategies.
