Lower High Blood Pressure with Transcendental Meditation

People with high blood pressure may find relief by practicing transcendental meditation, according to a definitive new meta-analysis of 107 published studies on stress reduction programs and high blood pressure, which will be published in the December issue of Current Hypertension Reports.

The transcendental meditation technique produces a statistically significant reduction in high blood pressure that is not found with other forms of relaxation, meditation, biofeedback or stress management.

The new meta-analysis reviewed randomized, controlled trials of all stress reduction and relaxation methods in participants with high blood pressure that have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Blood pressure changes for the transcendental meditation technique included average reductions of 5.0 points on systolic blood pressure and 2.8 on diastolic blood pressure, which were statistically significant, according to the review. The other stress reduction programs did not show significant changes in blood pressure.

Blood pressure changes associated with transcendental meditation practice were consistent with other controlled studies showing reductions in cardiovascular risk factors, improved markers of heart disease, and reduced mortality rates among participants in the Transcendental Meditation Program.

a) Unfortunately, a lot of young people have hypertension, and the number is on the rise.

b) Transcendental Meditation also provides similar benefits for adults with hypertension.

Actually, studies show that it helps hypertension in adults. TM eliminates stress which is a leading factor for hypertension. The reduction in stress lowers blood pressure, reduces anxiety, and restores balance to the sympathetic nervous system. All of that helps my friend.

This is for prevention of high blood pressure in youth. How many young people have hypertension??? What does it do for those ADULTS who have hypertension? Give me a break!

Es un video muy ilustrativo. Tiene la ventaja de ser el resultado de investigaciones serias. Sugiero que se envíe a todos los rectores de colegios privados y públicos.
