for Stress
Regular mindfulness practice — attending to present-moment experience without judgement — is one of the most well-researched interventions for chronic stress and its physiological consequences.
How it works
Reduces activity in the default mode network associated with rumination. Lowers cortisol, blood pressure, and inflammatory markers through sustained attention training and autonomic regulation.
What to watch for
Consistency matters more than duration — daily 10-minute practice outperforms infrequent longer sessions. Apps like Headspace or Calm can help establish a routine.
