Meditation contributes to healthier aging by supporting telomere maintenance and reducing cellular aging. 

🌿 By lowering cortisol levels and oxidative stress, meditation helps protect telomeres—the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that shorten with age & stress.

This mechanism slows the rate of cellular aging, potentially reducing the risk of age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, & neurodegenerative disorders.
