Herbalife Distributor training teaches the importance of all-round health and well-being. It’s about intelligent nutrition as a core element of a healthy active lifestyle, including exercise AND relaxation – all of which give great health benefits, for body and mind.
Over the last few months I have become increasingly interested in the health benefits of meditation, and thought I’d share a few of them with you, as listed on www.healthandyoga.com
Though meditation is usually recognized as a largely spiritual practice, it also has many health benefits. The yoga and meditation techniques are being implemented in management of life threatening diseases; in transformation of molecular and genetic structure; in reversal of mental illnesses, in accelerated learning programs, in perceptions and communications beyond the physical, in solving problems and atomic and nuclear physics; in gaining better ecological understanding; in management of lifestyle and future world problems. Some benefits of meditation are:
- it lowers oxygen consumption
- it decreases respiratory rate
- it increases blood flow and slows the heart rate
- increases exercise tolerance in heart patients
- leads to a deeper level of relaxation
- good for people with high blood pressure as it brings B.P. to normal
- reduces anxiety attacks by lowering the levels of blood lactate
- decreases muscle tension (any pain due to tension) and headaches
- builds self-confidence
- it increases serotonin production which influences mood and behaviour. Low levels of serotonin are associated with depression, obesity insomnia and headaches
- helps in chronic diseases like allergies, arthritis etc
- reduces Pre-menstrual Syndrome
- helps in post-operative healing
- enhances the immune system. Research has revealed that meditation increases the activity of ‘natural-killer cells’, which kill bacteria and cancer cells
- also reduces activity of viruses and emotional distress
There are a number of links to the right of the page which you might find useful if you’d like to try some meditation for yourself.
