Daily Express homes in on meditation to keep you young.

On the front page of the Daily Express you will see this headline. SECRET OF HOW TO LIVE LONGER.  Experts have found that the key to a longer life is to switch to a low-fat vegetarian diet, take regular exercise and even do some meditation.  The simple lifestyle changes, they found, can help to reverse the ageing process.
It is, says the Professor from the University of California all down to work on our telomeres, such a new word to me and to the computer that it keeps wanting to change the word to telomeres.  Anyway, a telerome us a microscopic cap in our DNA which prevents cells from becoming damaged.  These newly named caps, the telecoms, shorten as we age and this leaves us open to disease, dementia and age related conditions.  However, if we change our life style, our telomeres will lengthen and become protectors again.  So, get going on telomere lengthening straightaway if you haven't already started.  And of course, the younger you start the better.  As women are having babies later and having to go out to work and often leave these babies with the Grannies, it will be very important for Grannies to have good telomeres so they can keep going.
This blogger can now say with confidence that meditation helps Grannies grow younger, which will help everybody else and that if you aren't a Granny yet, you will find meditation keeps you younger, and if you are a grandchild, get that Granny meditating because you will need her to be able to run after you down to the sea, or climb up the climbing frame to get you when you are stuck or just be there to give a helping hand if you fall asleep in Singapore!
