Yahoo! News - Meditation May Help Lower Blood Pressure

yet another reason to do yoga!

Yahoo! News - Meditation May Help Lower Blood Pressure: "It just makes sense. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you just relax, your whole body would say `OK, thanks' and settle down. It's a simple concept but something that we had to prove,' Staggers said.

Women who meditated had both blood pressure readings drop about seven points while the other two groups registered drops of about one point one and three points. The findings were less supportive for meditating men."
