Along with meditation and yoga, massage therapy can significantly decrease cardiovascular disease risk, cholesterol problems, and illnesses associated with inflammation. This is according to a recent study performed by the renowned proponent of integrative medicine, Dr. Deepak Chopra.

In the study, released by the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, results confirm that massage along with meditation and yoga can significantly alter the metabolic profile of participants.
