Meditation can increase the production of DHEA by 44-90 per cent.
DHEA is the only hormone that reduces as we grow older. It is described as a powerful anti-ageing hormone and is a key determinant of our physiological age. It guards against disease, increases sexual libido, and increases the feeling of wellbeing and youthful vitality.
Meditation can increase melatonin by 98-300 per cent.
Melatonin, besides being a sleep hormone, is a very powerful antioxidant, anti-ageing agent, immunoregulator and anti-depressant. It slows cell damage, improves energy and may even inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
Meditation can decrease cortisol by 47 per cent.
Cortisol on the other hand is a toxin that causes thinning in the skin. This hormone can cause chronic inflammation in the body and produce symptoms that come with advanced age.
