Schneider, R. H.; Nidich, S. I.; Salerno, J. W.; Sharma, H. M.; Robinson, C. E.; Nidich, R. J.; and Alexander, C. N. Lower lipid peroxide levels in practitioners of the Transcendental Meditation program. Psychosomatic Medicine 60: 38–41, 1998.
Elderly participants in the Transcendental Meditation program displayed significantly lower serum levels of lipid peroxides in comparison to controls. Other research has found oxidative stress (free radical activity) to be associated with the aging process, and the lower lipid peroxide levels found in this study may be an indicator of more healthy physiological aging.
