静坐使心脏病突发和中风致死率减半
【明慧网二零一一年七月四日】（明慧记者华云编辑）一项最近的研究显示，静坐可以使心脏病突发和中风造成的死亡率减半。
美国威斯康辛医学院的研究者跟踪201位男女患者，他们的平均年龄为59岁，他们患有心脏血管变细已愈九年。
这些人被分成两组，一组进行静坐，另一组接受饮食和运动方面的指导。
研究者发现，每天静坐的人与接受传统保健的人相比，减少了47%的由于心脏病突发和中风造成的死亡风险。对于那些喜欢静坐的人或者非常容易有压力的人，结果更加明显，他们的死亡率减少了2/3。
研究者指出，这些结果和药物治疗一样有效，甚至比后者更佳。另一位研究者指出，此前的研究显示静坐会降低高血压、高胆固醇、胰岛素抵抗、生理压力、动脉硬化。这次的研究更显示静坐会减少心脏病突发和中风带来的死亡风险。
这项研究针对非洲裔族群，对于其他族群应该有同样的效果。心血管疾病在各种疾病中是造成死亡最多的疾病。
该研究结果发表在《内科医学档案》杂志（Archives of Internal Medicine）。
法轮功的第五套功法是在打坐中进行。很多从前患有心脏疾病的人通过修炼法轮功都获得健康。但是法轮功并不是一般的静坐或气功锻炼，其效果更非一般的静坐可以相比。想要更多了解法轮功的朋友可以通读法轮功的《转法轮》等著作。

Health Study: Meditation Cut the Mortality Rate in Half for Heart Attack and Stroke Victims
(Clearwisdom.net) A recent research report revealed that meditation can reduce the mortality rate by half for those who have sudden heart attacks and strokes.
Wisconsin Medical College researchers conducted a study of 201 male and female patients. Their average age was 59 years old, and they had suffered from narrowing of the heart blood vessels for over 9 years.
The group was divided into two. One was treated with meditation along with normal treatment, the other with diet and exercise guidance.
The researchers discovered that those who meditated suffered only 470f the normal mortality rate of those who experience sudden heart attacks and strokes. For those who stated they enjoyed meditation and who worked under pressure, the results were even more dramatic. In this group, the mortality rate dropped by 67%.
The researchers pointed out that the effectiveness of meditation is comparable to medical treatment, and even better. A previous research article showed that meditation can also lower one's blood pressure and cholesterol, as well as increase one's sensitivity to insulin and resistance to hardening of the arteries. This most recent study demonstrates even more clearly that meditation can reduce the mortality rate of heart attacks and strokes.
This study focused on African Americans; however, the authors believe the results would be similar for other ethnic groups. Heart disease causes the most mortality among all illnesses.
The results of this research were published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
The fifth exercise of Falun Gong is meditation. Numerous people who had heart disease have regained their health after practicing Falun Gong. Since Falun Gong is not an ordinary meditation or qigong exercise, the effect is extraordinary.
