Last October, a large study at Imperial College London surveyed 84,000 people and found that people who had recovered from New Crown (CCA virus) infection showed significant cognitive deficits. Some of the most severely ill New Crown patients had a 10-year degeneration in brain age.
More than a year into the New Coronavirus (Covid-19) (CCP virus) Epidemic, there are numerous studies that point to severe neurological damage to the brain caused by New Coronavirus (CCP virus). Dr. Yuhong Dong, a European virology and infectious disease expert and chief scientist at Biotech, said that there is no standard drug treatment for nerve damage to the brain from New Coronavirus (Covid-19), but for these New Coronavirus (Covid-19) patients, meditation can help repair nerve damage to the brain and improve brain degeneration. The following is the essence of Dong Yuhong’s interview.
Meditation can lengthen cell telomeres and make the brain younger
Human aging starts from the brain. And when the new coronavirus (CCP virus) attacks brain cells, it may cause brain cell damage, degeneration, and even neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
George Slavich, PhD, a psychoneuroimmunologist and psychiatrist at UCLA, and David Black, PhD, a preventive Medicine specialist at the University of Southern California, both did a joint review report that systematically reviewed 20 randomized controlled studies that scientists have done within the last 20 years. One of the findings showed that the length of cell telomeres, after a person meditates, is longer than in people who do not meditate.
The shortening of cell telomeres is a sign of cellular aging and apoptosis. This result suggests that meditation slows down the rate of cellular aging.
Another study, published in the journal Neuroreport, looked at people who had meditated for an average of nine years. Researchers found that people who meditated for longer periods of Time had thicker cortical layers of the brain. The changes in the cortical layer of the brain were most pronounced in older meditators. The cortical layer of the brain, the main structure responsible for attention, Perception and cognition, becomes thinner as age increases. Researchers say that meditation can bring positive changes to the brain structure.
Meditation boosts blood supply to the brain
Another intuitive benefit of meditation is that it increases blood supply to the brain.
When a person meditates, he or she crosses his or her legs. Some people think that having the legs crossed tightly while meditating will cause blood vessels to be compressed and blood circulation to be poor. In fact, the blood vessels in the legs are compressed when the legs are coiled, and the blood is distributed more to other parts of the body. In addition, when the arterial blood pressure in the legs increases, the heart will reflexively increase the blood supply capacity and promote the blood supply to the brain.
It is very important for the brain to receive adequate blood supply. Although it only accounts for 2% of the body weight in volume, the blood flow accounts for 20% of the whole body. Studies have found that when meditating, a person’s blood supply to the brain increases by 35%, which is a very significant value.
Meditation slows cellular aging and increases blood supply to the brain.
Meditation repairs nerve damage in the brain
Meditation usually requires one to quiet the mind, think of nothing, and remove all kinds of distractions. When we actively let go of negative emotions, stress and anxiety in our brain, our emotions will calm down. The brain’s ability to repair itself is enhanced in this quiet state, and nerve damage is easily improved.
Modern science has found that regular meditation induces increased activity in the brain’s left frontal cortex and decreased activity in the amygdala – the left frontal cortex is associated with positive thinking in people, and the amygdala is generally associated with negative emotions. This suggests that when meditating, a person’s positive emotions increase and negative emotions are suppressed. With this regular daily practice, the person becomes more and more positive and energetic.
Meditation helps fight viruses
The UCLA study also found that meditation enhances the body’s ability to fight viruses. The main manifestations are: when meditating, the activity of the body’s immune cells – helper T cells – is enhanced and their number increases, and the production of antibodies is elevated; at the same time, the expression of genes that interfere with immunity decreases, as do genes that express inflammatory proteins.
In other words, meditation promotes one’s anti-viral immunity and kills the new coronavirus (CCP virus) that invades the brain.
Meditation promotes brain repair and enhances the body’s ability to fight viruses.
Meditation enhances the body’s energy
Meditation has another benefit. In meditation, it is common to hold the tongue against the palate. In fact, from a Chinese medicine perspective, the tongue against the palate connects the meridians of the body. Modern medicine has found that meridians are related to energy, which means that meditation can promote the circulation of meridians and energy in the body.
In addition, research has also found that when meditating, the level of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the body’s energy-supplying substance, is significantly higher, which is a sign of material energy abundance. When there is enough energy, thinking is clearer and energy is more abundant.
Traditional medicine has traditionally considered meditation as a way to maintain health, and modern medicine is increasingly focusing on the role of meditation in repairing the body and improving disease. The new coronavirus (CCA virus) has left many patients with neurological sequelae in the brain, causing symptoms such as cognitive decline, extreme fatigue, and loss of smell and taste, for which there is no good treatment or improvement method in the medical community, but rather supportive therapy. Patients may wish to meditate daily to nurture themselves and accelerate their body repair.
