Aging is a normal part of life. But what if you slow down the aging process of the brain? Imagine what you can remember and everything in 70, like a sexagenarian? Or like a middle -aged adult? Great, right? Well, if you want to keep the young brain, register that meditation class immediately! No, meditation is not cheating. As we grow old, the brain changes naturally, including losing gray matter and other structural decline that can affect cognitive function. A study found that we could reverse the aging of the brain or slow down it with meditation. An interesting study published in Nerve Found evidence of convincing meditation, a reality originating from mindfulness and spiritual discipline, which can significantly slow down these aging processes, keeping the ‘younger’ brain longer.
To understand the benefits of meditation in the brain, the study observed a group of 50 long -term meditation and compares them with 50 non -human (controlled subjects). Using advanced machine learning algorithms is called the brain index (estimated the gap of the brain age), the researchers have analyzed if meditation may affect the biological brain age. They have considered high -resolution brain scannings to estimate the biological age of each brain of each participant. This tool converts complex anatomical samples into a single score, giving results of ‘old’ or ‘young’ a brain -related brain over time.
We observed that, at the age of 50, the brain of the meditators is estimated to be 7.5 years younger than the control. In addition, we have checked the estimates of the brain’s age to change with the growing age.
The study suggested that Zen is beneficial for brain conservation and effectively protecting it to age -related atrophy with more continuous brain aging speed throughout life.

MeditationAs a mindfulness that requires time, commitment and quiet space, is one of the lowest rated strategies, but its link with the conservation of the structure and function of the brain is another reason why you should try.
For those who have planned to combine meditation into your daily habits, this is a scientific reason. This small, daily efforts will promote your brain’s awareness. Let us not forget that a healthy body is a healthy mind. What are you waiting for? Add meditation to your daily schedule immediately.
