Meditation has been used for thousands of years to promote relaxation and awareness. For this reason, it is often recommended to help alleviate problems caused by anxiety and depression. Now, scientists and doctors are learning about exciting effects it may have on physical health.

What have they found?

Doctors all over the country are discovering new ways meditation can benefit the body. In Iowa, Dr. Robert. H. Schneider and his colleagues discovered in a study conducted between 1998 and 2007 that a group instructed to meditate daily was at a lower risk for “experiencing the combined endpoint of cardiovascular events that included myocardial infarction (heart attack) or stroke, or death” than another that was not. Systolic blood pressure was also found to have decreased. Percentage-wise, there was a 47% reduction in deaths, heart attacks and strokes for the meditation group.
