Younger Brain

Science:

The big news about meditation For older folks comes from our study at UCLA that finds meditation slows the usual shrinkage of our brain as we age; at age 50, long-term meditators brains are “younger” by 7.5 years compared to brains of non-meditators of the same age Bonus; for every year beyond 50, the brains of practitioners were younger than their peers by one month and 22 days.
