Episode 2901:

Mind-body interventions like yoga, meditation, and tai chi do more than just reduce stress, they may actually alter gene expression and lower the risk of inflammation-related diseases. Carolyn Joyce explores research showing how these practices counteract the harmful effects of chronic stress on a molecular level, potentially slowing cellular aging and improving mental health. Incorporating these techniques into daily life could not only enhance well-being but also contribute to long-term physical health.

Quotes to ponder:

"Mind–body therapies focus on the relationships among the brain, mind, body, and behavior, and their effect on health and disease."

"This response may precipitate a health risk when stress is severe or it occurs over a long period of time without adequate coping mechanisms."

"Mind-body interventions can improve a person’s level of mental health when compared to those who do not practice these techniques."
