Research indicates that mindfulness-based interventions may positively influence the aging process and chronic inflammation, a phenomenon referred to as ‘inflammaging’. 

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 89 studies suggests these practices can reduce age-related inflammatory processes and improve biological aging biomarkers, such as telomere length and telomerase activity. This research addresses inflammatory messengers including Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α), and C-reactive protein (CRP), which are linked to conditions like cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders.
