What happens in our body as a result of relaxation? What is our response to relaxation?

The following results were confirmed by Harvard University researcher, Dr. Herbert Benson.

• the oxygen supply of organs – and the brain – improves significantly, even more than during deep sleep
• in case of high blood pressure, practicing relaxation techniques for 15-20 minutes normalizes blood pressure levels
• our body’s lactic acid levels drop, which results in feeling better
• the blood vessels expand, therefore blood circulation improves in the organs
• cholesterol levels in the blood drop, the ratio of beneficial and adverse blood lipids improves for the better
• endorphin levels increase in the blood, resulting in a higher level of pain tolerance, normalized hormone levels and generally feeling better
• metabolism of body cells decrease by 15-20%
• our brain produces more alpha waves, especially synchronized alpha waves, which, according to research, promotes regeneration of our body cells

Relaxation is the best natural antidote to stress, while stress and tension are the greatest enemies of our health. Scientific measurements show that 20 minutes of relaxation reduces stress approximately as much as 3 hours of sleep!
