Recap: Can mindfulness improve physical health? | Prof. Ellen Langer

ZOE Science & Nutrition

Today we’re considering mindfulness.

Improving your health often comes with certain sacrifices. You might need to sacrifice time to exercise or money for specialised equipment and food. But mindfulness is different. It doesn’t demand our time or cost money. Instead, it suggests we can enhance our health simply by changing the way we think.

So, is it really possible to think our way to better health? And if so, where do we begin?

In this episode, Harvard professor Ellen Langer joined me to delve into the magical connection between mind and body.
