According to the American Academy of Anti-Aging
Medicine, 90% of all adult illness is due
to the degenerative processes of aging.
Anti-aging medicine, aiming for longevity
and optimal health, is most certainly the
'specialty' of the future and is based on
the early detection, prevention and reversal
of age-related disease. While science continues
to search for answers, research has already
revealed that meditation is a potent anti-aging
practice that can take years off your physiological
age.
STRESS
= AGING
Aging is
most certainly a complex issue with many
factors coming into play, but one thing
that researchers do agree on is that stress
(mental, emotional, and physical) causes

Meditation
may be the Future of Anti-Aging, Part II
(NaturalNews)
Scientific experts now believe we have
in-built mechanisms that can fight and
reverse the aging process. Innovative
research into the reversal of aging is
well underway and, while scientists debate
the many different theories, research
has revealed that meditation dramatically
affects the production of three important
hormones related to stress, longevity
and aging.
Cortisol,
DHEA and Melatonin.
Cortisol,
the 'stress hormone', is naturally produced
by the adrenal glands. Our bodies produce
cortisol (and adrenaline) when we react
to stress. Long term or chronic stress
however means that the body is over exposed
to these hormones, and this can lead to
increased anxiety, depression, an inability
to cope, and ultimately, physical illness.
