How to Live Longer: Daily meditation can extend your lifespan

With the weather outside being gray, cold, and wet – and the evenings getting shorter too – you may feel less inclined to venture outside. Fortunately, besides exercising, there is another way to extend your lifespan.

The British Heart Foundation (BHF) cites a five-year study of 201 people with coronary artery disease in which simple activity at home improved life expectancy.

After 15 minutes of daily meditation, the researchers found that participants’ risk of death, heart attack, and stroke was reduced by 48 percent.

These changes were associated with lower blood pressure and lower levels of stress.

This is known as a hemorrhagic stroke, which can cause weakness or paralysis of an arm or leg.

It can also cause problems speaking or understanding language, impaired vision, and seizures.

Once an aneurysm is bleeding, there is a 40 percent chance of death and a 66 percent chance of brain damage.

The more bleeding there is, the more serious the damage to the brain is likely to be.

The other half of the group instead participated in health education talks for the same time.

Her blood pressure was checked for a follow-up visit at week four, week eight, and week 20 prior to the intervention.

In the eighth week, the mindfulness group had “significantly lower blood pressure values”.

This trend was still evident through week 20, but not as significant, suggesting that daily meditation practice is required to reap the benefits.
