  • This study reviews and analyzes multiple randomized controlled trials to evaluate how practices combining yoga poses and mindfulness-based stress reduction impact physiological stress indicators like blood pressure, heart rate, cortisol, and cytokines, compared to active control groups.
  • The authors conducted a systematic search of several medical and psychological databases in 2016, selecting studies that specifically measured biological stress markers, assessed risk of bias, and used rigorous experimental designs.
  • The goal was to determine the neurobiological effects and effectiveness of these practices for stress management, helping inform their use as self-care interventions by providing evidence on their impact on physiological stress responses.

ちなみにストレスを軽減させるのに効果的な方法として、マインドフルネスやヨガがある。このメタ分析曰くマインドフルネスを行うと、ストレスホルモンであるコルチゾール、収縮期血圧、安静時心拍数、空腹時血糖、コレステロール等の低下が期待できる、まさに神メソッド。 https://t.co/c6aF9bpeVj https://t.co/t7LwBdeEF8 https://t.co/avQuX9VUCP
