“12 Ways Yoga Meditation Helps Nourish the Body, Brain and Mind”

I found myself drawn to this article by Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa of the Alzheimer's Research & Prevention Foundation posted on the SharperBrains website: http://sharpbrains.com/blog/2013/10/25/12-ways-yoga-meditation-helps-nourish-the-body-brain-and-mind/  I guess I’m just a sucker for lists.
Here’s a list of his 12 ways:
  1. Increased telomerase (Do I know what this means? No, but if you read the posting you’ll know exactly as much as I do.)
  2. Decrease in bad genes
  3. Improvement of good genes
  4. Improved Sleep: (yes, I know what that means)
  5. Enhanced Brain Blood Flow (also called cerebral blood flow or CBF)
  6. Increased Healthy Brain Size
  7. Improved Brain Chemistry
  8. Improved Mem­ory
  9. Reduced Stress
  10. Less depression
  11. Clarity of Purpose
  12. Spiritual Well-Being
