  • A meta-analysis of four clinical trials with 190 participants found a moderate positive effect (d=0.46) of mindfulness on telomerase activity.
  • The findings highlight the potential benefits of mindfulness practices on cellular health, but more large-scale studies are needed to determine the best ways to implement meditation for this purpose.]
