Backup for what I have experienced - that meditation supports overall health

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

Hi Neighbours, I know when I am meditating regularly I feel better. I was really interested to read that researchers have found evidence that frequent meditation over several years may help alter the human gut – boosting the body’s immune system and reducing the risk of anxiety, depression and heart disease.

In a small study of Buddhist monks, researchers found deep meditation could help regulate the gut microbiome, and lower the risk of physical and mental ill health. The findings feature in the journal General Psychiatry, which is published by the British Medical Journal.
