Meditation offers significant physical health benefits by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which lowers stress hormones—cortisol and adrenaline. This physiological shift brings about lower blood pressure, reduced heart rate, and improved cardiovascular health, including decreased risks of stroke and coronary artery disease.
