Scientists have conducted a study, as a result of which it was proved that meditation is beneficial for the psyche and the cardiovascular system, which means it can relieve anxiety, as well as reduce the risk of heart disease..

John Duoker, a bioscientist, led a study by a team of scientists from Michigan Technological University. Also, 14 volunteers participated in the experiment, who had to go through several sessions of meditation for 60 minutes.. The effect of meditation is as follows: when a person is completely immersed in a meditative state, the muscles relax and the pressure on the aorta decreases..

As a result, the work of the heart is facilitated and blood pressure decreases, which has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system as a whole.. It also increases blood flow to the head and relaxes the muscles in the body, so immediately after the session and a week after the volunteers reported that the level of anxiety is much less than it was before..

Scientists have concluded that even one hour of meditation can relieve anxiety for a long time and prevent the appearance of some markers of heart disease..
