Health benefits of meditation:

A recent US meta analysis of 20


individual studies conducted by Connecticut University found that


regular meditation produced slower heart and breathing rates, improved


blood flow and decreased the chance of suffering from depression and


mental health issues. These benefits are widely


acknowledged to have a multitude of healthy flow-on effects, including the ability to lower cholesterol levels, blood pressure and blood


glucose levels, improve respiratory function and even reduce the risk of


cardiovascular disease.
