By Neha MathurJan 19 2023Reviewed by Aimee Molineux In a recent article published in General Psychiatry, researchers investigated the effects of long-term traditional Tibetan Buddhist meditation on the gut microbiome's structural characteristics. Additionally, the researchers screened microbes in the gut microbiota for insights into their biochemical indices and functionality.
About the study In the present study, researchers proposed that deep meditation over a prolonged duration could help regulate gut microbiota homeostasis, positively affecting one's physical and mental health. Furthermore, the team used the t-test and Mann–Whitney U tests to analyze normally and non-normally distributed variables. They considered a p-value of <0.05 as statistically significant.
The study analysis helped identify 803 OTUs after the taxonomic assignment, of which 611 were shared between the meditation and control groups, whereas 91 and 101 were unique. Moreover, taxonomic rank abundance curves exhibited similar patterns of relative bacterial evenness across all samples. However, the α-diversity of the gut microbiome was markedly higher in the controls, per Alpha diversity indices.

Researchers reveal genetic predisposition to immunity against new variants of COVID-19The SARS-CoV-2 delta variant that caused the third wave of COVID-19 in mid-2021 turned out to be more contagious than earlier SARS-CoV-2 variants. In addition, protein mutations in the delta variant were found to significantly reduce the effect of acquired humoral immunity to COVID-19 from prior infection or vaccination.
