Mindfulness is the core of many meditation methods. In this article Indian religious authority Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath criticizes recent CNN report on the topic of “mindful eating”.

“DALLAS, Jan. 12, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Eastern religion and philosophy have permeated American culture in many ways, especially as far as health and wellness are concerned. The predominance of yoga as a fitness technique is just one example. Another comes from a recent CNN report on the topic of “mindful eating.” In the report, CNN details a new movement in which restaurant diners think deliberately about feelings of hunger and fullness as they consume their meals. This “mindful” approach to eating is said to provide weight loss assistance, and CNN notes that it emerges from a “Buddhist tradition” of “nonjudgmental awareness of one’s body and thoughts.” According to Indian religious authority Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath, though, the “mindful eating” approach has little to do with Eastern spirituality. Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath has issued an official statement that strongly criticizes the CNN report.” Click here to visit the original source of this post

Many people already know about numerous benefits of different meditation methods to promote health and longevity, and lots of meditation practitioners improved their health significantly by utilizing various meditation techniques. Here is another research study confirming this fact.

“A recent study suggests that intensive and sustained meditation may boost the activity of telomerase, an enzyme responsible for telomere length and maintenance. Reductions in telomerase and telomere length have been linked to aging, psychological distress, and other health problems such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease.

Telomeres are “protective DNA sequences at the end of chromosomes” which play a key role in cellular aging, and function as a clock that limits cell lifespan. Each time cellular division occurs, telomeres grow shorter, unless the enzyme telomerase builds them back up. Once telomeres grow too short, cellular death occurs because the cell can no longer replicate.”
