New research has shown that regular meditation could have far more benefits than originally thought.
A study from Georgia Health Sciences University has found that meditating regularly could decrease the risk of developing cardiovascular disease in young people.
As it helps to relax the mind and body there are numerous health benefits associated with meditation, according to Jillian Lavender, director and co-founder of the London Meditation Centre.
These include:
Relaxation
"In meditation the mind and the body settle down to a very deep level of rest," Ms Lavender said.
The meditation expert explained: "Specific benefits include reduced tension and anxiety, increased resistance to stress and faster recovery from stress, improved memory and concentration, reduced insomnia, increased energy and improved health."
She also said that with all these psychological positives, relationships can feel easier and the physical signs of biological ageing and stress less apparent.
Heart health benefits
Ms Lavender claimed that while meditation is well known for its mental positives it in fact helps with many physical health issues as well.
Time spent in a more relaxed mental state can bring about a reduction in cholesterol and a drop in blood pressure, which in turn could lessen the risk of atherosclerosis or stroke.
Detox
Engaging in meditation is a brilliant way to concentrate on healthy living both inside and out.
It can help reduce negative emotions, such as stress and depression, allowing you to clear your head.
Meditation can also help to detox the body as well, according to the director and co-founder of the London Meditation Centre.
"Studies on meditation have shown to reduce blood pressure, lower insulin resistance and decrease dependency on smoking," and other addictive substances, which is great if you’re looking for a way to cut down or give up altogether.

- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Apr 22, 2021Thank you Emiliano for your comment. In this blog we are referring more to oils, more so than butters and while we agree with you Shea is an excellent emollient for hair, it's consistency is more buttery and it is used more as a leave-in remedy to smooth hair texture. We have suggested Coconut oil as it helps slow down hair loss by penetrating deep into your hair shaft to prevent protein loss, which in turn prevents breakage. When applied to your scalp, it simultaneously moisturises and removes build-up around your hair follicles to encourage hair growth and is one of base oils always used in Ayurveda for hair treatments. As this post is more focused for hair and not for skin, the comedogenic scale applies to skin/pores and not hair follicles. Thank you again for your feedback.
- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Apr 22, 2021Hello Zu, yes hair loss can be very stressful and this in turn amplifies the cause almost.. Perhaps with Covid, your system may have been depleted of nutrients and fighting the virus can take its toll on your immune system, so sometimes our hair and skin suffer when we have been ill. We really believe in oils for scalp massage as the best way to revive the growth and help regenerate the follicles. It may be also worth at looking at internal supplements and making sure you are getting enough of omega oils, perhaps plant based such as nuts and seeds in your diet. For external oil treatment, would recommend the Really Good Hair oil which we create with Brahmi, this herb is known to help bring the scalp back to health and improve growth. Biotin is also a good vitamin to take as a supplement to help with hair growth so do look into that. So hope these tips will be helpful for you.
- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Apr 22, 2021I, am very surprised that your article did not include Organic Shea Butter and that coconut oil, is your number one choice for hair growth and thickness. According to the comedogenic scale, coconut oil, has a rating of (4), on a scale from (0), to (5), on clogging your pores. Why would anyone put coconut oil, on their hair or skin knowing the pores will get clogged up. Shea Butter, on the other hand has a (0), rating on the comedogenic scale, which is great for dry hair and skin and won't clog up your pores.
- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Mar 29, 2021Thank you for your very informative article. I suffered COVID in December, 2020, and in February I started experience extreme hair loss and all my hair jus falls like a person who is under going Chemo therapy. It's very depressing. Had to cut off all my hair and even the little that is left is falling off daily not sure what to do. Please suggest something.
- Carrot Oil for Face Mar 15, 2021Hello :) You can use carrot oil only in small drops on your skin in the morning/during the day since it is highly potent. Carrot oil is rich in vitamins and is a very effective moisturiser. You can also mix a few drops of Carrot Oil with your favorite face cream. You can do that at least twice a week or include it in your daily skincare routine. Hope this helps.
- Carrot Oil for Face Mar 15, 2021Can I use the carrot oil in the day time? Because I am using Vitamin c serum in the night. Please advise. Thanks
