idquest Posted May 28, 2014 Here is an article on meditation from the Bloomberg website: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-05-28/to-make-killing-on-wall-street-start-meditating.html I usually find articles there (on financial and political topics) accurate and to the point. Here is a sentence from the article: "Perhaps most surprising: Levels of telomerase, an enzyme that protects genetic material during cell division and delays cell death, were higher in the retreat group. By boosting telomerase, meditation could possibly extend life." They are talking about research done on a group of meditators. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
