Mindfulness helps

It turns out that being mindful can help you live longer.

I found a great article on this concept and much more here.

Here's the excerpt on the mindfulness part:

"But it helps to be mindful. There are some findings to suggest that being mindful can actually have effects on lifespan. One such study looked at people attending a three-month stay at a meditation retreat and found that after the three months the meditators had on average about 30% more activity of the enzyme telomerase than the controls did, which is related to aging. The findings are very preliminary, but they suggest that the mind does have influence on the body."

New enzyme could reverse aging

So, those clever scientists may have found a way to reverse aging. Watch this cool video to see how.

One of the keys to living longer is your diet.
