Meditation may slow brain aging, study says

Since 1970, life expectancy around the world has risen dramatically, with people living more than 10 years longer. Thats the good news.
The bad news is that starting when people are in their mid-to-late-20s, the brain begins to wither its volume and weight begin to decrease. As this occurs, the brain can begin to lose some of its functional abilities.
So although people might be living longer, the years they gain often come with increased risks for mental illness and neurodegenerative disease. Fortunately, a new study shows meditation could be one way to minimize those risks.
Building on their earlier work that suggested people who meditate have less age-related atrophy in the brains white matter, a new study by UCLA researchers found that meditation appeared to help preserve the brains gray matter, the tissue that contains neurons.
The scientists looked specifically at the association between age and gray matter. They compared 50 people who had mediated for years and 50 who didnt. People in both groups showed a loss of gray matter as they aged. But the researchers found among those who meditated, the volume of gray matter did not decline as much as it did among those who didnt.
The article appears in the current online edition of the journal Frontiers in Psychology.
Dr. Florian Kurth, a co-author of the study and postdoctoral fellow at the UCLA Brain Mapping Center, said the researchers were surprised by the magnitude of the difference.
We expected rather small and distinct effects located in some of the regions that had previously been associated with meditating, he said. Instead, what we actually observed was a widespread effect of meditation that encompassed regions throughout the entire brain.

Being mindful for mental wellness
Posted: at 4:54 pm
Brandi Matheson and Shayna Davison practice mindfulness meditation at Centennial Place a clubhouse in Mission that supports people towards mental wellness.

Physical illness, a broken relationship, an assault by a total stranger any one of these situations could send a person into a deep depression. When you consider that Shayna Davison experienced all three events in the course of a year, its nothing short of a miracle that she not only survived them but has become a stronger, healthier person; this despite the fact that she lives with bi-polar and anxiety disorders.
Shayna credits much of her success to a good relationship with a supportive psychiatrist. She also credits the staff and members at Centennial Place with giving her the support and strength she needed to face these difficulties.
Centennial Place is amazing, Shayna says. From the minute I walked in, I knew it was different. I received a warm welcome. People are so genuine in their concern for you. It feels like your second home.
Located in Mission, Centennial Place is a program of Communitas Supportive Care Society that supports the growth and for those living with mental wellness challenges by providing a safe, nurturing environment for its members. The clubhouse also offers activities and workshops. One of the first groups that Shayna attended was called Mindful Based Stress Reduction which teaches techniques for mental wellness.
Mindfulness-based classes, which include meditation and yoga, have become one of the most popular things we offer, says Brandi Matheson, who manages Centennial Place and facilitates such groups. A good portion of those who are referred to us are people who have expressed an interest in such groups and 75 per cent of these are people living with anxiety and depression.
Brandi says that in the 12 years shes worked for Communitas she has never found anything more accessible or effective than mindfulness and meditation in helping her clients.
It affects them physically, mentally and spiritually. Anyone can do this, thats whats so great about it."
While mindfulness, meditation and yoga are taught separately, all focus on calming the mind and do so by focusing on breath. For example, when Shayna goes for a walk, shell do so mindfully. Shell focus on breathing deeply, aware of the sensation of the cool air entering her body. She pays attention to the sounds around her, and the feel of the ground as she takes each step.
