Here are 3 key lessons from the NutritionFacts.org video/article about meditation, diet and cellular aging (telomeres): (NutritionFacts.org)
Stress affects cellular aging: Chronic stress is linked with shorter telomeres (the protective chromosome caps that shorten with age), and managing stress—e.g., through meditation—can help reduce this effect. (NutritionFacts.org)
Meditation can boost telomerase activity: Even relatively modest meditation (about 12 minutes a day for 8 weeks) was associated with increased telomerase activity in caregivers, suggesting a potential cellular anti‑aging benefit. (NutritionFacts.org)
Diet may be even more powerful: In lifestyle studies, a whole‑food, plant‑based diet protected telomeres more effectively over time than exercise or weight loss alone, indicating food choices strongly influence cellular aging. (NutritionFacts.org)
