Contemplative mental training reduces hair glucocorticoid levels in a randomized clinical trial
Lara M. Puhlmann,Pascal Vrticka,Roman Linz,Tobias Stalder,Clemens Kirschbaum,Veronika Engert,Tania Singer +6 more
TL;DR: The results point to the reduction of long-term cortisol exposure as a mechanism via which contemplative mental training may exert positive effects on practitioners’ health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Only vulnerable adults show change in chronic low-grade inflammation after contemplative mental training: evidence from a randomized clinical trial.
Lara M. Puhlmann,Veronika Engert,Filia Apostolakou,Ioannis Papassotiriou,George P. Chrousos,Pascal Vrticka,Tania Singer +6 more
TL;DR: Overall, the data point to a floor effect in the reduction of inflammatory markers through contemplative mental training, suggesting that mental training may be less effective in improving basal biological health outcomes in healthy, low-stressed adults than in vulnerable populations.
