Meditation and its effect on common health conditions like obesity, diabetes, and heart health

In the hustle and bustle of the city life, everyone seems to be looking for some peace of mind, at the end of the day. The stress and pressure that the constant running around puts us under can incur a huge cost to our bodies and health, both physical and mental. In order to ease the stress, and have better health, it is important to incorporate healthy practices like exercise, healthy habits, and meditation into our everyday routine.

Meditation is about training the mind to be more focused and attentive. It is a way to make it pause for a while, without constantly running around thinking different thoughts. It helps us to understand out feeling better, without judgement. It helps us to take charge of our thoughts and improves mindfulness. Apart from just making us feel better and relaxed, meditation has some health benefits when it comes to preventing, treating and reducing symptoms of physical health conditions like diabetes, heart diseases and obesity.

Meditation and heart health

According to a report, researches have confirmed that people who practise meditation are less likely to have a heart attack or stroke, within the next five years. Meditation can help in lowering your heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, adrenaline levels, and levels of the stress hormone, cortisol in the body.

Since meditation helps in better stress management, it helps to reduce the production of cortisol in the body. When you are stressed, the body focuses more on the production of cortisol, and other hormones are secreted less, because of which an imbalance can occur.

Novel device shows promise to predict sepsis


Researchers have developed a new computer-aided model to identify early symptoms of sepsis-- a potentially life-threatening condition caused by the body's response to an infection.

Sepsis is a major cause of death in hospitals, and early detection is key to preventing deaths. Every hour of delay is linked to a 7 per cent reduction of survival. 

The study showed that the computer-aided National Early Warning Score (cNEWS) determined if it could enhance the accuracy of predicting sepsis. The score can trigger screening for sepsis within 30 minutes.

"The main advantage of these computer models is that they are designed to incorporate data that exist in the patient record, can be easily automated and place no extra burden on the hospital staff to collect additional information," said a Prof.

"These risk scores should support, rather than replace, clinical judgment. We hope they will heighten awareness of sepsis with additional information on this serious condition," he added, in the paper published.

cNEWS will now be introduced carefully into hospitals with appropriate information technology infrastructure, the study noted.
