Attributed extracts from the research record

“Adopting yoga/meditation-based lifestyle modification causes reversal of markers of aging, mainly oxidative stress, telomerase activity, and oxidative DNA damage.”
“This may not only delay aging and prolong a youthful healthy life but also delay or prevent onset of several lifestyle-related diseases, of which oxidative stress and inflammation are the chief cause.”
“This report suggests this simple lifestyle intervention may be therapeutic for oxidative DNA damage and oxidative stress.”
