What is the secret of mindfulness and good health?

Does easing overload and stress lead to greater health?

For many years there has been a debate on the health benefits of mindfulness meditation. My unscientific observation of students would indicate that those who regularly meditated seemed to have greater mental and physical health. Was I just being hopeful?

Early studies into the benefits of mindful meditation were inconclusive but there have now been more extensive studies undertaken. Jill Suttie has written a very informative article on the outcome of those studies. It is well worth the read.

Thank you @JillStuttie
