As per a survey coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in this world. Now, researchers have shown us that yoga and meditation both help in the reduction of blood pressure. Lowering the pulse rate, improving the elasticity of the arteries, regulating the heart rhythm and increasing the heart's stroke volume. In today's society, stress plays a major role in heart disease. When stressed, your heart rate and blood pressure rises, which in turn, releases stress hormones. These stress hormones can cause damage to the heart and blood vessels, especially during prolonged or repeated exposures.
The factor that contributes heavily to heart disease is stress. Situations which are highly stressful increase the heart rate and blood pressure. The stress hormones get released during a stressful situation; extended or recurrent exposure of these hormones can injure the heart and the blood vessels. Yoga promotes a relaxed state of mind and body and is also widely known for playing a vital role in reduction of stress hormones, decreasing the heart rate and lowering blood pressure.
