MEDITATION IS GOOD FOR HEART HEALTH ACCORDING A NEW LARGE STUDY

Regularly meditating may offer vast heart health benefits, according to a large new study supporting earlier smaller studies.  This new study involved survey data on more than 61,000 people, nearly 6,000 of whom reported that they engaged in some variety of meditation. Digging into the data, the researchers found that compared to individuals who didn’t meditate, those who engaged in the practice experienced lower rates of cardiovascular health issues, the most prominent being coronary artery disease followed by high cholesterol, diabetes, stroke, and high blood pressure.
