You probably know by now that training isn't just for your body - having a healthy brain requires some effort and practice, too. Your body and your brain work together to keep you healthy, and mindfulness practices are an essential part of that.
A study in the journal BMC Geriatrics found that a mindfulness practice can offer a range of benefits, from more self-acceptance to better familial and social relationships. Researchers noted that this simple habit offers the potential for major health advantages, but that it can be difficult to get started without some type of guidance.
