Meditation benefits patients with heart disease: "In a study of adults with
coronary heart disease (CHD), who were stable and were receiving optimal medical care, 16 weeks of transcendental meditation (TM) not only led to significant reductions in blood pressure, but also improved heart rate variability and insulin resistance, which is associated with an increase risk of diabetes. These beneficial health effects were achieved without changes in body weight, medication or psychosocial variables, investigators report in the Archives of Internal Medicine. 'This study, using a rigorous study design with NIH funding, demonstrates incremental benefit of TM to standard good medical care in CHD patients,' study investigator Dr. C. Noel Bairey Merz from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles told Reuters Health. 'CHD patients who want to 'do it all' for optimal risk reduction should consider learning and practicing TM,' Merz recommended." |
