Science-backed benefits of meditation are varied and numerous. The consistent practice of meditation has a positive impact on the physical, mental and emotional health.
In order to understand the significant physical benefits of meditation for the brain and body system, first we should unpack how chronic stress impacts the body.
Stress causes an increase of natural stress hormones in the blood such as cortisol and epinephrine. The increase of these in the body raises the blood pressure, heart rate and increase cholesterol levels, disrupts sleep as well as weakens immunity.
Based on research from the University of California, consistent meditation practices prevents the body from releasing stress hormones which effectively helps you better manage stress experienced in daily lives.
