IT IS ENOUGH TO DEVOTE A SHORT TIME TO MEDITATING EVERY DAY
How? It is very simple. The brain of those who meditate is 7.5 years younger than that of those who do not.
A study led by neurologists proved that the brain age of a group of people who meditate in their 50s is 7.5 years younger compared to people who do not meditate at the same age.
There is also more, for every meditated year after 50 years, the brain remains younger by 1 month and 22 days. Meditation slows down the blunting of the brain that comes with age.
Researchers are analyzing data taken from 100 people. 50% are people who meditate regularly, and 50% do not. To measure the age of the brain, they use a newly developed and approved high-dimensional pattern scanner. What is measured is not exactly age, but instead they measure what the brain will look like at a certain age. For example, the brain of people with Alzheimer’s disease looks 10 years older than it should be.
However, the opposite is true for people who meditate. The brain of these people, who are about 50 years old, looks 7.5 years younger than that of those who do not.
According to these results, meditation is very beneficial for brain health and slows down the blunting of the brain that comes with age.
