Mindfulness benefits our physical health
There is good awareness now of the immense benefits of mindfulness for mental health. However less are aware of the profound benefits for physical health.
To paraphrase Associate Professor Craig Hassed from Monash University. Chronic stress (chronic fight or flight response) creates excessive sympathetic nervous system activity, plus chemical changes, such as higher cortisol levels and adrenalin. Generating much more wear and tear on the body. The physical effects of this include:
- poor immune function, more likely to get sick,
- more inflammation ( immune dysregulation) inflammatory disease and arthritis,
- metabolic issues: worsening cholesterol, blood sugar and higher blood pressure,
- osteoporosis (bone thinning)
- arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) worsening heart attacks and strokes,
- damage to the brain, especially the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, responsible for memory and higher executive functioning
- accelerates ageing by damaging the DNA.
Mindfulness/Meditation has been shown to reverse all of these issues and to slow down ageing.
