Practice meditation daily for 15-20 minutes as it lowers your heart rate. This helps to reduce the workload on your heart.

The health benefits of regular transcendental meditation (TM) include not only lower heart rate and blood pressure, but also reduced total cholesterol and insulin resistance, and a slowing or reversal of the hardening of arteries that contributes to heart disease. TM is a particular brand of meditation that is practiced for 20 minutes twice a day while sitting comfortably with eyes closed and silently repeating a calming word.
