When practicing meditation, your heart rate and breathing slow down, your blood pressure normalizes, you use oxygen more efficiently, and you sweat less. Also, your adrenal glands produce less cortisol, your mind ages at a slower rate, and your immune function improves. Your mind also clears and your creativity increases. People who meditate regularly find it easier to give up life-damaging habits like smoking, drinking and drugs.

Meditation in Buddhism works to reduce stress because of two main reasons: wisdom and mind control.
The wisdom aspect lets you discover why the stress is there to begin with, and it will become clear what can be done to reduce it.
The mind control aspect is probably obvious: if we can make our own mind more flexible and direct towards the things we really want it to work on, then we can ’simply’ stop the mental habits that build stress, and replace them with a more relaced and clear state of mind.
