With all due respect for the legumes, the strongest evidence - which is still not conclusive - for any bp-friendly dietary change is for cold water fish, isn't it?
legumen are mood food. ALl I know that consuming a lot of hummus helps.

I live - I live not in the most expensive area of Cali. My yoga studio is not the most expensive one in the vicinity. I have been to much posher yoga studios. Meditation is never free - it is rather costly because it consumes one of the most valuable limited resources - your time. So it better provide very significant benefit! Nothing is free - there is an old saw from the Chicago School of Economics "There is no free lunch". Now you may not subscribe to the ideas of Chicago School of Economics but in this they are quite right - somewhere someone always bears the cost.
I don't do posh. I am from the Eastern Bloc... and no nouveau riche (I laugh at those. And *that* is for free). In fact posh yoga studio is a glimpse of "what is wrong with the world". Yoga and meditation is not about posh. And it shouldn't be.

And as for time? Well, you can either spend the time being miserable, or you can try to meditate. I came to point where i can meditate hanging on the pole in tram with my iriver player with some trance music on (and best place to meditate... said one of my spiritual tutors is... *tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaah* your bathroom. No fancy yoga studio. You get into alpha state when sitting on your toilet).

And as for the med paragraph... tbh, I don't see my life as cost-benefit scenario. I don't see myself as slot machine either or complicated (or not so complicated) computer program. I no longer think of "i will do this and it will lead to this". I no longer track my moods. I just go with it. Trying to live and all that.

I really do not know what there is MORE to medicine in the end than cost-benefit analysis.
How about LIFE?
