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.
A TIA is a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain. 1  Since it doesn't cause permanent damage, it might seem like no big deal. 2  But ignoring it is a big mistake. That's because a TIA may signal a full-blown stroke ahead. 3  All stroke survivors should pay particular attention to the signs of TIA.
