Relaxation and heart health
A range of techniques including massage, relaxing music, guided relaxation and yoga have shown promising results in lowering blood pressure and heart rate -- factors that have a positive effect on heart health. Recent research indicates that relaxation techniques can reduce strain on the heart.
One study from Duke University followed cardiac patients over a period of years. The program included education on stress and specific techniques to relax the body and mind. Participants in the program showed a significant reduction in heart attacks. In another study, at Cedars Sinai Medical Center, yoga and meditation significantly reduced the impact of cardiac disease on patients.
Taking charge
Many people feel victimized by stress. But relaxation can reverse the ill effects of stress by helping you learn to respond differently.
The key is to practice relaxing regularly. If you take time during your workday for a 15-minute massage, a lunchtime yoga class, or simply breathing slowly and deeply for several minutes, you'll let go of stress buildup and start to relax. If you make this a regular habit, you can retrain your mind to stay balanced in the face of stress.
So this month get an extra massage, take a yoga class every single week, or start that meditation practice again. Your heart will thank you!
