\"Benefits<\/p>\n

Yoga and meditation are said to have originated in India thousands of years ago but today it is practiced more by people outside India. Meditation is gaining popularity nowadays due to its ability to achieve complete well-being. Stress is an important factor in most of the modern day diseases like heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, and depression. With high-pressure jobs and fast lifestyle, stress is unavoidable in modern life. In such a scenario, practicing meditation for just 10-15 minutes a day can go a long way in protecting you against diseases.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the health benefits of practicing meditation regularly:<\/p>\n

1. Reduces Anxiety<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to psychiatrists from Harvard Medical School, meditation can reduce anxiety symptoms. Anxiety attacks occur when someone gets overwhelmed with worry over issues that they have no control over. Anxiety, in turn, can lead to high blood pressure and heart diseases due to the stress it creates on the body.<\/p>\n

Meditation is a great way to help keep your blood pressure in check. A study at Harvard Medical School found that meditation lowered blood pressure by making the body less responsive to stress hormones, in a similar way to blood pressure-lowering medication. Meanwhile, a British Medical Journal report found that patients trained how to relax had significantly lower blood pressure.<\/p>\n
