HAPPY WORLD MEDITATION DAY ☀️ #2022
I always start begin my morning with a meditation practice ✨
Meditating is proven to help us control our behavior. Rather than acting out of an emotional response, we can train our brain through meditative practices to react calmly, rationally, and more meaningfully 🥰.
LONGEVITY BENEFITS: Certain cognitive states help to reduce stress and cellular aging. 🧫 From improving gut health, to reducing symptoms of mental illnesses, there are many studies diving into the fascinating longevity-related benefits of meditation.
👩🏽🔬 Meditation also may actually keep your cells young. By increasing the levels of DHEA and decreasing cortisol, meditation decreases oxidative stress. This promotion of what is called “miotic cell longevity” may contribute to the protection of lengthy telomeres. Telomeres are the protective caps of your chromosomes that are used as a 📆 biomarker for chronological age. ♻️ Every time your cells reproduce, the caps can become weaker, allowing your chromosomes to unravel and contribute to faster aging (Folkman, Blackburn, Moskowitz, Daubenmire, Epel, 2011).
