The stress-reducing technique had a significant impact on a group of 201 participants who were all suffering from a narrowing of arteries in their hearts.
Half of the group practised TM for nine years, and they had a 47 per cent lower rate of death, heart attack and stroke, and a clinically significant reduction in blood pressure, compared with the half that changed their diet and exercised.

Mushrooms have played an important part in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. One of the earliest recorded uses of the mushroom as a healing food was in the 14th century, when records showed that a Chinese physician named Wu-Rui was using mushrooms for their powerful healing qualities.
More recently, in the past thirty years, scientists in Japan have been investigating the possible uses of mushrooms for health improvement and have amassed a wealth of evidence to support their use as healing agents.
Following the recent meta-analysis published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism which linked low vitamin D intake with type 2 diabetes, researchers in New Zealand have now found that vitamin D may improve insulin resistance and sensitivity, both significant risk factors for type 2 diabetes.
