If you're an arthritis patient looking for a new twist on your exercise routine, yoga may be the answer. This ancient system of exercise uses special postures to stretch, strengthen, and align the body. Traditionally, it also uses breathing exercises and meditation to focus the mind and promote relaxation. Yoga isn't just for people with the body of a beanpole and the flexibility of a rubber band, either. Today, people of all ages, shapes, and sizes are discovering the joys of an exercise that calms your mind while it tones your muscles and loosens your joints.

JustGarciaHill.org
For many years, minority groups were largely missing from clinical trials of new medications, vaccines, and other medical treatments.
