The Good news is: it has been estimated that three out of four women with high blood know they have it
The Bad news is: fewer than one in three are controlling their blood pressure. AND, it has been estimated that more than half of all the woman alive today will die of heart disease.
High Blood pressure, or hypertension, is one of the leading risk factors for heart attacks. Some experts consider it an indication that blockage of the arteries is already present.
Unfortunately, nearly half of all women over fifty-five have hypertension, by age sixty-five, that proportion rises to 60 percent. Controlling high blood pressure helps to lower risk of heart attack and stroke by about 30 percent, but to do this, most patients need to be on blood pressure medication for life.
Vedic Meditation and Your Blood Pressure
There is some good news about hypertension, especially, if you want to avoid or reduce your dependence on medication. Vedic Meditation can be very effective at lowering blood pressure.
Vedic Meditation can lowers blood pressure by about as much as taking a blood pressure medication: by about ten points systolic and six points diastolic.
Vedic Meditation is good not only for your heart but for disease prevention in general.
The regular practice of Vedic Meditation strengthens the body’s inner intelligence in a holistic and integrated way, leading to healthier, more balanced functioning not only in the cardiovascular system but in the immune system, central nervous system, and probably other systems of the body as well.
