Episode notes
Can mindfulness training influence how the aging immune system responds to a biological challenge? In this episode of www.YogaInsightPod.com, we examine a randomized controlled trial led by Emily K. Lindsay and colleagues from the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, and Virginia Commonwealth University. The study investigated whether an eight-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program could enhance innate immune responsiveness in older adults experiencing loneliness.
