A study from the Medical College of Georgia shows that meditation can help heart health. In the study, participants were assigned to either get four months of training in transcendental meditation (TM) or health education without meditation. TM has been shown to improve the pliability of blood vessels in young people with pre-hypertension.
Researchers found out that after four months, the transcendental meditation group had “improved significantly” its blood vessel function compared to the group which received health education only.
Meditation has garnered a lot of research attention. It’s been found to be good for the heart, immune system, PMS, and even breastfeeding and hot flashes. There seems to be no down side to meditation, but it doesn’t take the place of needed conventional medicine.
