Title: Meditation Slows Aging & Protects DNA ? Post by: guest88 on Jan 04, 2022 06:56 am Quote Meditation Slows Biological Aging And Protects DNA Strands Full story at,Research shows that love-kindness meditation has noticeable positive effects at the cellular level. The study examined how different types of meditation affect telomere length, which is an indicator of physiological aging. Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of DNA strands called chromosomes. They get shorter over time. For the most part, the more we age, the shorter they get. Other environmental toxins, such as smoking and bad habits, also contribute to the shortening of our telomeres. There are also a number of habits and substances that have been shown to slow this process down and even lengthen our telomeres, such as fasting, which essentially means reversing the aging process. “Chronological age and biological age are not identical. The former is measured in years, while the latter is often indexed by telomere length,” the authors explain. “Telomeres are gradually shortened during cell division (i.e., with aging) in general, but can also be replenished or lengthened by the enzyme telomerase.” The study lasted 12 weeks and included 176 participants between the ages of 35 and 64. All participants had little or no meditation experience and were assigned to a 6-week love-kindness meditation workshop, a 6-week mindfulness meditation workshop, or a control waiting group. The scientists took blood samples at the beginning and end of the study to measure telomere length before and after the meditation intervention. https://anomalien.com/meditation-slows-biological-aging-and-protects-dna-strands/ Title: Re: Meditation Slows Aging & Protects DNA ?

Yea it makes the sex act more rhythmical so they say. My drummer told me so. Had to ask him because I take sex suppressant pills for my celibate lady. Title: Re: Meditation Slows Aging & Protects DNA ? Post by: guest88 on Jan 14, 2022 08:07 pm The body is always changing, don't let a habitual mind tell you otherwise. Mutation on a cellular level is constant. That said, our body is always communicating with us. Sometimes things we once enjoyed, the body has had enough of- and it's up to us to learn how to respond accordingly. I think some "issues" are actually a blessing in disguise. Like heart palpitations. I get them, and I know alcohol triggers it as well as caffeine. And deep down, I have a desire to learn how to establish a particular state without the dependency on external stimulus to get there. In this way, learning to ween off a substance- like coffee, has its benefits. And meditation, an ability to draw from within- not only soothes the palpitations and potential arrhythmia it can even bring about the desired effect- like a feeling of elevation, an altered state of mind or even joy- both immediately or intermittently. Is there a greater medicine? |
