MEDITATION – ONE OF THE BEST – AND PROVEN – ANTI-AGEING STRATEGIES
Meditation – one of the few PROVEN ways to protect and even repair & lengthen your telomeres (those caps on the end of your chromosomes that stop them ‘unraveling’).
Longer telomeres are associated with being younger – biologically.
There are many different types of meditation – and I do a mixture of these depending upon my mood – and what I feel I need on any given day.
I tend to gravitate towards Loving Kindness (Metta) Meditations most of all, although Yoga Nidra is excellent – especially of I’m having trouble falling asleep.
I also love to practice the Relaxation Response – created by the Grand-Daddy of Mind/Body Medicine, Dr Herbert Benson. I had the huge privilege of training under him at Harvard Medical School’s Benson Henry Institute for Mind/Body Medicine.
