After six months, people in the mindfulness group had a significant drop in blood pressure compared to the other group. The mindfulness group also followed the DASH diet more closely. And they had greater awareness of their body’s signals, like hunger cues. “The program gives participants the tools to make heart-healthy diet changes that can lower their blood pressure and decrease their risk of cardiovascular disease,” says study leader Dr. Eric B. Loucks at Brown University. The researchers are now testing different adjust - ments to the training program. The DASH eating plan requires no special foods and instead pro - vides daily and weekly nutritional goals.

Overall, BioSET is a non-invasive, safe, and effective allergy treat - ment technique that targets the root cause of the food and environ- mental allergy symptoms rather than merely masking them. Environmental allergies are typically not life-threatening, but they can impact a person’s day-to-day life and decrease their quality of life. With proper management, however, individuals with environmental allergies can manage their symptoms and live healthy, fulfilling lives.
