does anyone notice better health?

AMH

I was wondering if anyone attributes buddhism and meditation to better health? I would think basically avoiding stimulants and eating mindfully that we would see that. But I also notice that compared to some people my age I have less wrinkles. I want to say that sitting relaxed has got to help the muscles all relax in your face and also in your gut and other places all over your body. I know meditation is used for stress relief in addition to the spiritual, I just wanted to see if others noticed that in their own lives.

definitely, yes.

Yup! I look and feel great! Makes you more mindful of what you eat and lessen stress a bit. I think our reaction to stress is what also ages us, too.

Yeah, I notice that being in Colorado a lot of people show age in their skin easily. In altitude you can get sun damage year round easily. And that is a big way I see a difference, with other people I know who also meditate or focus on less stress.

My blood pressure was lower than it has been in years at my last checkup, it was actually perfect... there could have been several influencing factors, but I believe meditation and a less stressful way of thinking contributed.

Since I started practicing Yoga, which I believe goes hand in hand with meditation, I have noticed great improvements in health, mobility and general well being.
