 The text discusses the effects of a mind-body intervention on cardiovascular disease. A coroner's office spoke about the findings, which could be released in the next week or more. The study involved African American men and women with an average age of 59 who suffered from heart disease. They were selected to do transcendental meditation, which is a technique that reduces stress and anxiety. The results showed that the participants had a significant reduction in blood pressure and cardiac disease risk factors. The study also found that the participants had improved mental health and reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety. The researchers concluded that the mind-body intervention was effective in reducing cardiovascular disease risk factors and improving mental health.
