With the rising numbers of caregivers attending to the needs of elderly or disabled members of the family, so does the emotional and physical toll on them as well. If they don’t have a release for the pent up stress, it will cause havoc on their health. A recent study found by the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, that practicing a routine of yoga, meditation and Tai Chi not only helps to reduce stress on an emotional and mental level but also on a cellular level. The study explains that cells are helped by increasing the activity of DNA sequencing that helps to maintain the longevity of the cell.
