Meditation enhances immune function .
Several studies have
shown that different forms of meditation result in an increase in natural killer (NK) cells and B-
lymphocytes, playing a
role in tumour prevention and serving as an early defence against viral infections.
Another biological indicator of the positive effects of meditation on immune system function is
the activity of CD8+ T-cells. These are white blood cells responsible for removing damaged and infected cells, preventing the spread of viruses and cancers.
meditation has also been documented to increase the antibody response to injections of the influenza vaccine.
In addition to the brain activation, meditators also showed a significant increase in antibodies to the
influenza vaccination when compared to the control group. This suggests that meditation has the capability to bolster acute immune response to viral infections.
