Study Suggests Meditation Might Be Effective For Anxiety

avatar


There are millions of people around the world who practice meditation for one reason or another. Meditation tools have boomed in the last several years on the market and today you can find a wide range of apps and other programs that are marketed toward helping people get started on meditating and building that daily habit.

Why are people turning to meditation?

Surveys show that overall wellness and disease prevention is a top reason that people report trying meditation. Other reasons include improving energy, concentration, and more.

Many more people today are engaging in this practice and technology makes it easy for them to learn more about it from a variety of sources.

One previous study has suggested that it might even allegedly be as effective as some medication for anxiety, others say it might help with decision making, among other possible potential benefits.

Just a few years ago some surveys suggested that about 15% or more of U.S. adults were engaging in meditation practices, with millions more around the world looking to do meditation as well.

It's estimated that some 200+ million people or more around the world might be doing meditation and along with that growing interest and engagement it has become more popular especially in areas like the United States with a number of products targeted toward this market.

This market has already grown into a multi-million dollar market, as well we see that more research is also being done by scientists to discover what potential benefits if any there might be.

Doctors are trained in symptoms and symptom management. Only the individual knows their body. There is no substitute to eating and thinking healthy.
