With the economy the way it is, stress levels nationwide are undoubtedly high. People use various methods to manage and reduce stress. Yoga is high on the list for many, but I have found success with meditation. According to various holistic online resources, the physical benefits of meditation include the following:-Lowered levels of cortisol and lactate-two chemicals associated with stress.
-Reduction of free radicals- unstable oxygen molecules that can cause tissue damage. They are now thought to be a major factor in aging and in many diseases.
-Decreased high blood pressure.
-Drop in cholesterol levels. High cholesterol is associated with cardiovascular disease.
-Improved flow of air to the lungs resulting in easier breathing. This has been very helpful to asthma patients.
