How might meditation training impact one's heart health?
Research has shown that mindfulness meditation could help people at risk for heart disease by bringing blood pressure down. In one study, individuals with pre-hypertension who were taught mindfulness meditation had significantly greater reductions in their systolic and diastolic blood pressure than those who learned progressive muscle relaxation. Another study found that people with heart disease who participated in a mindfulness program showed improvements in their heart health compared to those on a waitlist.
