I first heard about these in the Mehmet Oz/Michael Roizen "You...." book series.
Quote:
regarding the meditation and social support components, in his 1991 book, Ornish described a couple of cases where the mind/body connection made a significant improvement in patients who otherwise had all of the other components in check (diet and exercise). The Blue Zones also list belonging to a faith-based community and social support as 2 of the 9 components common among the groups that have the most centenarians in the world.

Thank you for posting the rave on the book. I enjoy learning more about my body! And having the latest research is not bad, either.

Very interesting information!
I thought I'd put a link to the VF meditation thread. Some of the links may not work, but most should: http://forum.videofitness.com/showthread.php?t=193291 ETA: You don't have to meditate for an hour a day (unless you want to!). A study showed that 12 minutes per day was good for stress reduction: https://nutritionfacts.org/video/doe...ellular-aging/
