Highlights
In the last decade there has been a significant increase in complex lifestyle diseases like depression, diabetes mellitus (DM), cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancer, and infertility
The findings suggest that the impact is mediated through improvement in genomic stability, telomere metabolism, and balance of cellular oxidative stress, well-regulated stress and inflammatory responses, and increase in neuroplasticity and nutrition sensing
Genomic stability is central to cellular longevity and disease-free youthful healthy life and the findings from our study suggest the reduction of genomic instability by yoga- and meditation-based lifestyle intervention (YMLI)
Summary
In the last decade there has been a significant increase in complex lifestyle diseases like depression, diabetes mellitus (DM), cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancer, and infertility. These diseases are strongly associated with accelerated cellular aging [1, 2] and have become the bane of modern society [3–5]. The cardinal biomarkers of cellular aging include DNA damage, telomere length attrition, and oxidative stress (OS) [7]. Telomere attrition is due to altered telomere metabolism involving a decrease in telomerase enzyme activity and an increase in OS. It contributes to genomic instability and is associated with aging and lifestyle diseases [12]
