Biohacking Your Inner Nature With Meditation
Meditation and prayer have been linked to many health benefits. Could these benefits be because meditation changes our genes in a positive way?
Studies suggest meditation might affect how our genes work. This change could explain why meditation, yoga, and breathing exercises might help our health.
For instance, one study showed that after meditating for eight weeks, people had changes in genes linked to the immune system, blood sugar, heart health, sleep, and more.
Scientists are still figuring out exactly how meditation works. But there’s evidence that calming the mind and body might trigger a powerful effect in our genes, helping us heal from the inside out.
Our genes come from our ancestors’ behaviours over thousands of years. For example, humans developed a gene to digest starch because we’ve been eating it for a long time.
