Can meditation help with cognitive decline?
Yes, meditation can indeed help with cognitive decline, as suggested by the growing body of research on the concept of “spiritual fitness,” a term that encompasses psychological and spiritual wellbeing as a crucial component of healthy brain aging. This concept has gained attention in the scientific community, particularly in the context of alarming projections for Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline worldwide. According to Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa from the Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention Foundation and Dr. Andrew Newberg, Research Director at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health- Jefferson Health, there’s significant evidence pointing towards the beneficial impact of meditation practices on cognitive functions.
