community calendar Take Aging to the Mat yoga can turn back the clock If you want to counteract the effects of aging—and who doesn’t?—give yoga a try. A new study by researchers at Ohio State University suggests that yoga may lower various compounds in the blood and reduce the inflammation that normal aging can bring. Women who regularly practiced yoga had lower amounts of a substance called interleukin-6 (IL-6) in their blood, according to a study. IL-6 carries signals of inflammation between cells in the body, and high levels of IL-6 have been connected to heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and arthritis. Many yoga studios and community centers offer classes for all ability levels and types, including beginners, seniors and pregnant women.
