Meditation: The Ultimate Stress Reducer
Mindful meditation is a practice of focused attention that trains the mind to be present and non-reactive. Its benefits for longevity are profound, primarily through its powerful ability to mitigate the damaging effects of chronic stress. Regular meditation has been shown to lower cortisol levels, reduce blood pressure, and decrease markers of inflammation. Some fascinating research even suggests that long-term meditators have longer telomeres, the protective caps on our DNA that are a key biomarker of aging. A simple practice of 10-20 minutes a day can have a significant impact on your mental and physical health, helping to calm the nervous system and protect the body from the accelerated aging caused by stress.
