NARRATOR: Life a bit
overwhelming?
Five minutes of meditation one
to two times per day
can help you stop the world
and transcend your woes packing.
Here are five amazing benefits
to getting your ohm on.
Number five, forget milk.
Meditation does a body good.
Research shows that it can lower
blood pressure,
reduce the risk of heart
disease,
and strengthen
the immune system.
It's like a shot of wheat grass,
only without the wheat grass
taste.
Number four, it sharpens
your mind.
Meditation can improve
your concentration, attention
to detail, and focus, allowing
you to juggle it all
without dropping the ball.
Number three, welcome
to your happy place.
Regular meditation can increase
serotonin production, which
improves your mood
and helps with anxiety
and depression.
It's your body's
natural happy drug.
And this time, it's OK to just
say yes.
Number two, moment of zen
equals more Zs.
Are you tossing and turning
every night and waking up cranky
and ready for a nap?
Experts say 20 minutes
of meditation a day
can improve your sleep,
even for serious insomniacs.
So a little zen can get you
a lot more Zs.
And the number one benefit
of daily meditation?
You'll stress less.
Regular stress hurts both
your figurative
and literal heart.
So break the cycle.
There are a ton of ways
to meditate.
Some are as
simple as focused breathing,
which means that if you're
breathing,
you're already halfway there.
Find a meditation practice that
works for you, and oh, my, will
you feel better, inside and out.
