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.”
