Mindfulness meditation may benefit older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), according to a small pilot study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease.
There’s currently no known way to prevent older adults with MCI from developing Alzheimer’s disease, but mindfulness meditation may be a safe and feasible non-pharmacological treatment that can help.
Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment, non-judgmental awareness of thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment.
