Try This Free, Proven, Anti-Aging Technique: Meditation

(NaturalNews) In addition to bringing peace of mind and greater mental clarity, meditation has anti-aging and disease prevention qualities that are now being scientifically proven in western medicine. Thousands of years ago, meditation practices focused on gaining spiritual insight to one's being. Today, though many conceptually recognize meditation's stress reduction potential for better health, few have the patience and perseverance to practice daily. It may be worth the effort, all things considered!

Hard Evidence

Nobel Laureate Elizabeth H. Blackburn, who specializes in cellular biology, discovered a link with stress to telomeres and telomerase. Telomeres are chromosome protective caps. Blackburn likens them to shoelace tips. When those tips fray, the whole lace begins to deteriorate. And the shoe laces in this case are chromosomes, which carry genetic information to our cells.

Telomere length is a determining factor in aging and longevity. As cells divide, the telomeres get shorter. Eventually, when the telomeres get too short to protect the chromosomes, the cells will die to prevent them from mutating because they lack chromosomal protection. So maintaining telomere length is vital to anti-aging and longer good health.
