Today’s Solutions: July 20, 2025

The disconnect between our minds and bodies is unfounded, one impacts the other and vice versa. A new study found that meditation keeps telomeres intact. Telomeres are basically caps on the end of our DNA that keep them from unraveling, they don’t cause a disease directly but are found to be smaller in people with cancer, heart disease, and other health problems—in short it’s better if telomeres are intact. The study took three groups of people who had been diagnosed with cancer, one group went to an 8-week meditation and yoga class, the other group took part in a 12-week talk therapy sessions, and the third an control group went to a stress 6- hour stress management class. Researchers found that the only group with degraded telomeres was the control group, hinting that any way of helping your mind along with your body will show physical benefits.
