Maximizing Youthfulness Through Meditation (Virtual Event)

In these modern times, scientific research shows  that daily meditation may dramatically slow the aging process. Meditation  affects production of three important age-affecting hormones: DHEA, melatonin, and cortisol. Cortisol on the other hand can cause chronic inflammation in the body and produce symptoms that come with advanced age. One way to defy age is through daily meditation.  Meditation is one of the most effective ways to allow the body to reach a state of consciousness and relaxation and allow for healing emotionally and physically. As a physician who has been meditating for over Fifty years, Dr. Raider has a strong interest in meditation and its relationship to health. He also was the medical director of five Connecticut health care facilities. Dr. Raider is a contributing author to the book “Meditation as Medication for the Soul” by Rajinder Singh. His chapter “Meditation: 25 Years Experience in Primary Care Medicine” chronicles meditation as it has moved from “being considered a fringe practice to now being called the secret to optimum health.”
