Did you know that Meditation Helps Preserve the Aging Brain?

A few years ago a study from UCLA found that long-term meditators had better-preserved brains than non-meditators as they aged. Participants who’d been meditating for an average of 20 years had more grey matter volume throughout the brain — although older meditators still had some volume loss compared to younger meditators, it wasn’t as pronounced as the non-meditators. "We expected rather small and distinct effects located in some of the regions that had previously been associated with meditating," said study author Florian Kurth. "Instead, what we actually observed was a widespread effect of meditation that encompassed regions throughout the entire brain."

Practice Daily meditation because the practice of staying present and mindful for a limited period of time can have numerous benefits for our mental and physical health, When we meditate, we can enhance our focus and decision-making and lessen our feelings of fear and stress.

Remember every day is a chance to hit the refresh button, practicing self-love doesn't come easy sometimes, it takes practice and perseverance until you feel satisfied. When you wake up every day, be grateful for life, then look in the mirror and say to yourself "You are beautiful, there is no one like you". Treat others how you wish to be treated, love yourself first, and only then can you extend the same love to others. When we feel content and happy within ourselves, we will be able to live a healthier and sane life, never be envious of anyone because we all have different paths and destinations, just be you, do you, and enjoy the little things.
