Meditation has been linked to lower cardiovascular risk in a data analysis published in the American Journal of Cardiology from Veterans Affairs researchers and colleagues of more than 61,000 people pointing to heart benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Studies suggest that meditation may have beneficial effects on a number of conditions, and a statement from the American Heart Association says that meditation may be of benefit for cardiovascular risk reduction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Data shows that meditation may help with cholesterol levels, blood pressure, quitting smoking, and overall cardiovascular health, but the connection is not definitive. This study set out to provide further evidence on how meditation may impact cardiovascular risk by using a large national database with many participants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Researchers from the VA Medical Center, Baylor College of Medicine, and the Icahn School of Medicine analyzed data from the National Health Interview Survey which is conducted annually by the National Center for Health Statistics to collect information from a wide range of health topics from a nationally representative sample. <\/span><\/p>\n

Data from over 61,000 participants was looked at, of which close to 10% reported participating in some form of meditation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\n \n
