Especially after the pandemic countries and countries have faced the wrath of sadness and loneliness. Their resort was better mental health and meditation. Moreover, research has now proved that frequent meditation for years can alter gut health. It not only boosts the immune system but also affects cardiovascular health. Research published in the General Psychiatry journal says that meditation can aid in regulating the gut microbiome. The research excerpt reads below

“The microbiota enriched in monks was associated with a reduced risk of anxiety, depression, and cardiovascular disease and could enhance immune function. Overall, these results suggest that meditation plays a positive role in psychosomatic conditions and wellbeing.” 

Later on, the stool samples of the monks were used with an alternative sample of neighboring areas' secular populations. All factors such as medicines, probiotics, etc were constant for all sample population and it was seen that their gut healths were better!

Furthermore, blood samples showed better heart health as well. However, more research on this subject needs to be carried out to make more solid statements!

Earlier this month, Hanks, 66 shared how Jerry Seinfeld introduced him to meditation and how it helps him be at the best of his health!

“I said, ‘Oh, I’ve been working. I’m taking a year off [because] I’m just really tired. I’ve been working like six years,’” Hanks recalled before Seinfeld, 68, suggested meditation.

“He goes, ‘No, you’ve got to. I’ve been doing it since college. He put me together with his teacher, and it’s an odd, easy, life-changing thing."
