  [2013.08.24.] - Medscape - Hírkategória: Tudomány
  Just 2 weeks of mindfulness meditation training help reduce smoking and craving for cigarettes, new research suggests.Results from a study conducted by investigators at the University of Oregon in Eugene showed that integrative body-mind training (IBMT) helped curtail cigarette consumption by up to 60% in smokers who underwent 5 hours of training during a 2-week period. In comparison, a control group who underwent relaxation therapy showed no reduction in smoking. (Medscape)
