| Abstract: |
The article discusses meditation's possible help in making the brain work more efficiently as one ages physically. Topics covered include the brain's constant physiological activity that causes stress and age-related changes, and meditation's potential in slowing cellular aging processes, enhancing cognitive function, and improving sleep, memory, and mental clarity. Also noted is the suggested start of a daily seven-minute practice of guided meditation. |
