Relaxing Way to Drop Blood Pressure and Cholesterol

Most of us don’t like making the changes needed to improve our health. If we did, we would have made those changes decades ago and stuck to them.

So a new study published in the American Journal of Cardiology should be welcome to anyone with high blood pressure or cholesterol.

Because it shows the most relaxing, pleasurable way to reduce these conditions.

Researchers from the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center and the Baylor College of Medicine in Texas, Mount Sinai Heart in New York, the Cleveland Clinic, and the Mayo Clinic hypothesized that the physical and mental relaxation brought by meditation could lower heart disease and heart disease risks in the general American population.

To find out, they used information already collected by the 2012 and 2017 National Health Interview Survey. These surveys had 61,267 participants.

Of these, 5,851 or 9.6 percent engaged in some type of meditation.

They then compared the rates of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, and coronary artery disease in the meditators and non-meditators to see whether there was a difference.

Compared with those who did not meditate, those who meditated were 65 percent less likely to have high cholesterol, 70 percent less likely to have diabetes, 76 percent less likely to have a stroke, 86 percent less likely to have high blood pressure, and 51 percent less likely to have coronary artery disease.

This was after they ensured that other cardiovascular risk factors like age, gender, race, body mass index, marital status, cigarette smoking, sleeping duration, and depression did not influence their results. They did not have information on alcohol consumption, which can also be a heart disease risk factor.

There are, however, two problems with meditation: a) most people don’t stick to meditation routines, and b) they’re not focused on lowering blood pressure.

So, I developed mind/body exercises, super-focused on lowering blood pressure in as little as 9 minutes. The results: Thousands of people are off blood pressure medication with readings below 120/80. Learn these easy blood pressure exercises here…
