Do you wish you had a magic wand to turn back time? One answer to looking and feeling much younger is to meditate. Yes, meditation has been proven to have anti-aging benefits.
When I give presentations and workshops, people always seem to be amazed when I mention how a regular practice of meditation can actually prevent Alzheimer’s. Studies have shown that meditation can slow down or even stop the onset of Alzheimer’s and dementia. By increasing alpha waves and training the brain to be more resilient, we can improve memory and create new neuro-pathways for a more balanced mental state.
Another youth enhancer has to do with Telomerase – a relaxation enzyme in your brain. A study showed that just 15 minutes of daily meditation helps increase telomerase production. Raising our production of this enhances our ability to relax and be more resilient. In fact, anything that helped trigger the relaxation response helps with telomerase production.
Another reason that meditation reduces aging is that it reduces the production of cortisol – a stress induced hormone. Too much cortisol sends blood sugar levels through the roof. When sugar binds to these proteins, it makes our skin look like we have spent 30 years in the sun. Meditation trains the brain to feel connected. When we feel isolated and separated, one particular brain region (the “parietal lobe”) becomes overheated. To calm down, practicing meditation on a regular basis can help this process.
Meditation also helps boosts creativity and brain power. Brain imaging studies have shown that highly successful, massively creative people use both brain halves in a much more balanced and integrated way. A regular meditation practice can help create a whole thinking, success mind-set. Professional sports teams now hire mindset coaches to bring out the best in each athlete on their team. Why not do that for your business team?
