 Why is meditation significant from the perspective of medical science?

        The heart beats continuously from the moment of birth till death. The heart pumps out 7000 liters of blood a day, of which 70% is sent into the brain and the remaining 30% elsewhere.

        How does the heart function most effectively and efficiently?

            The heart is a disciplined and effective organ. The heart normally beats for 0.3 seconds during systole and rests for 0.5 seconds during diastole.

            Therefore, the heart needs 0.3 + 0.5 = 0.8 seconds to complete one beat, or one cardiac cycle.
            That is, the heart beats 72 times in error in a minute, which is regarded as a normal heart rhythm.

    The lungs take in the polluted blood and turn it into pure blood during the 0.5-second rest interval.

    In certain constricted circumstances, the heart slows down to 0.4 beats per minute for 0.5 seconds, causing the heart to beat 82 times in a minute and only 80% of the blood to be filtered.

    Additionally, the rest duration is further shortened to 0.3 seconds upon request, which only partially filters the blood (60 percent).

    Imagine what would happen if our arteries carried less oxygen-rich blood!

    To guarantee that the blood is well oxygenated, deep breathing is essential.
Factors influencing how the brain functions

1. We eat 25–30% of the food that we consume.

2.70–75% of mental processes include memories, emotions, and attitude.
Consequently, the brain becomes calmer and the heart is not required to pump as much blood.

The brain needs time to relax.

An extremely useful technique for calming an anxious mind is meditation.
Our hearts are relaxed and our brains are healthy when we sit and meditate with our eyes closed. This keeps both heart disease and brain disease at bay.
True health requires meditation.
