A disease is a particular abnormal, pathological condition that affects part or all of an organism. It is often construed as a medical condition associated with specific symptoms and signs. Advances in medical sciences and better living conditions have increased the life expectancy. Biological ageing is correlated with increased morbidity, mortality and poor health states. Three ways of expressing human ill-health.(1) Disease : A cluster of signs, symptoms and laboratory findings linked by a common patho-physiologic sequence. Most epidemiology is about disease.(2)Illness: The subjective state of the individuals who feels aware of not being well. The ill individual may or may not be suffering from disease.(3)Sickness: The social roll assumed by an individual suffering from all illness. Yoga first emerged in the Indian civilization over 3000 years ago, and has since been gaining popularity around the world. Yoga is re-union of mind and body to the God.
